Description: The title Arch is a pun alluding to both the Italian word for string instruments (archi) and the arch form of the work. A canon for three violas, Arch is constructed in sixteen-beat modules which are ordered with the intention of achieving a balance between repetition and variation, between familiarity and surprise. When the centre of the piece is reached (signalled by fast repeated notes), the modules begin to run in reverse order until the opening is again heard. Arch was composed shortly after a lengthy period of music study in south India, a culture which to my ears possesses greater subtlety of rhythm and melody than the Western tradition. I was reaffirming to myself the value of one of my own tradition’s greatest attributes, which is little developed in India - counterpoint. The harmonic and textural aspects of the work are maintained as quite static, allowing for a focus on shifting and intertwining contrapuntal lines.
