Composer's Notes
Each of the movements of this piece takes as its point of inspiration one of the surviving fragments by the pre-socratic philosopher Heraclitus. Apart from the profound depth of wisdom found in these fragmentary texts, I also found a dramatic and emotional tension coupled with a musicality that I felt leant itself very nicely to musical exploration.
Mark Simpson, 2026
