Composer's Note
Carlos Salzedo, the extraordinary harpist, was a member of the small group of modernists who surrounded Varese and Ives in the 1920's and 30's. It has remained a memory which I cherish. His unusual developments in harp technique always seems to be too infrequently explored in recent times. So in writing Mosaic, commissioned by the Nash Ensemble, I decided to explore many of his exciting inventions to recall his friendship in the early 1930's. The score is formed by many short mosaic-like tessera that I hope make one coordinated impression.
