Ripple Marks in C

2 instruments and harp or piano or harpsichord

Ripple Marks (1999) is based on a melodic theme that develops in the first instrument (3 notes, then 5, then 7, then 9, then 5 and finally 3) while the second instrument plays a motif consisting of the same notes as the theme of the first, but written in regular values (sixteenth notes) in the high register.

The regular eighth notes of the polyphonic instrument are the same motif, but in retrograde motion, while a single pedal note (low C) resounds in irregular long values punctuated by the bass drum. Slow and collected, the ensemble gives an impression of polymetry due to the shifting accents of each instrument.
