Description
“This was commissioned by John Turner for a concert to commemorate the late John McCabe in October 2016 at the University of Manchester. Based on a ”series” derived from the letters of the composer”s name (M=E, C, C, A, B, E), this austere and measured four-minute exploration gradually becomes warmer and more lyrical, even sumptuous, towards the end. Linda Merrick and Peter Lawson, its first performers, have recorded it on Divine Art (dda 25166).” – Rob Keeley, 2018
