A group in their own right is formed by the three string orchestra works written in memory of, and reverence for, Hungarian composers of great stature: Epitaph for Béla Bartók, Hommage à Zoltán Kodály and a homage to Liszt, that virtuosic composer par excellence of the Romantic era. I have incorporated the two most essential characteristics of Liszt's music - luscious romanticism and virtuosic élan - into the mood and colourful spectrum of the string orchestra sound. Melodic and harmonic material dominated at first by an augmented fourth and laterby a perfect fourth forms the mainstay of the while work and provides a unifying element.
