Complex interwoven passages are set against stringently composed sections. The composer says of his piece: 'the combination of shortness and an ease of attitude with the complexity of a major chamber music work relates, in a certain way, the piece to the late works of Elliott Carter.'/ Répertoire / Flûte [Piccolo], Hautbois, Clarinette en Bb, A et

The setting by Lennox Berkeley also has a deceptivesimplicity but reveals on repeated listenings or performances a harmonic integrity and subtlely that has made it a work that will continue to be performed and enjoyed for a long time to come. Lennox Berkeley wascomposing and having his works performed before he finished school then upon meeting Ravel was introduced to legendary teacher Nadia Boulanger in Paris with whom he studied.
