Programme note
Sometime in early 1978 I heard Stravinsky’s Octet in a concert by the London Sinfonietta (in St John’s Smith Square, where the brass resonated beautifully), and the “Theme and Variations” fired me up to write my own variations on a hymn, which I finished in the summer while house sitting for Stanley and Liz Glasser.
