This Desperate Edge of Now

Duration: 11' 00" Year: 2007, r. 2012
for string quartet

  • Programme Note

    The string quartet is inspired by a poem by Mervyn Peake:

    ’Is there no Love can Link us?’

    Is there no thread to bind us- I and he

    Who is dying now, this instant as I write

    And may be cold before this line’s complete?

    And is there no power to link us- I and she

    Across whose body the loud roof is falling?

    Or the child, whose blackening skin

    Blossoms with hideous roses in the smoke?

    Is there no love can link us- I and they?

    Only this hectic moment? This fierce instant

    Striking now

    Its universal, its uneven blow?

    There is no other link. Only this sliding

    Second we share: this desperate edge of now.
