On
Reflection is a companion
piece to the earlier
sextet The Miraculous
Mandolin(2007), for a
similar combination of
instruments. But it is
somewhat more
introspective, as implied
by the title, which also
refers to the technical
processes employed. The
first section sets up a
contrast between busy
linear material and
‘frozen’
chordal passages, both
emanating from a single
source. The first part of
the final section largely
develops the quick
character, but the piece
ends with a chorale like
reworking of the chords.
At the centre is a slow
section, which perhaps
reflects the title most
aptly.
