Micromovements: Book I Program Note

First Movement Full Score

Micromovments is comprised of the first six of a series of eleven short, quiet movements.  The movements use irregular scordatura to match pitches (or their octave equivalents) from the natural E harmonic series.  Material for each movement is intertwined with material from proceeding and succeeding movements to create macro-phrases across the different movements.
