Composition for string quartet modelled on the contours, densities and sectional proportions of Missa “De Plus en Plus” by Johannes Ockeghem (c.1420-1497). Each segment of the piece comes as if from a different world, carrying headings from ‘holy’ and ‘good’ to ‘absurd’ and ‘socially disreputable yet intriguing’. As the piece wears on, the sections get shorter and shifts in mood become more playful.
