Program Notes
"My first thoughts were to write a kind of 'history of the world in four chapters' beginning with primitive barbarity, moving through greater refinement and sophistication before ending in brutality bringing the work full circle, and something of that is present in the final version of the piece. The impossibility in my mind was to metamorphose from a kind of pre-medieval style rushing through the centuries culminating in a neurotic postmodernism within fifteen minutes or so. Eventually I hit on the idea of each movement being a kind of reaction to the previous one, but at the same time containing something of what has just been heard. The title of the work is the result of much pacing and reflects not only the various meanings of the word 'repercussion' but also takes into account that each movement starts with an aspect of the percussion writing of the previous movement... a convenient pun."
