Composer's Notes

Every society is founded in rituals of birth, life and death. The question that was in my mind when I wrote Gauze Vespers was if it would be possible to tell what kind of a ritual was taking place, if one were an observer from a completely alien culture. Thus I think of Gauze Vespers as a strange ritual, seen from afar.

— Oscar Bettison
