Work Overview

Imagination is best served by incomplete knowledge: the ruins of an ancient city, the unfinished symphony, the secret code, the partly clad human form. So We Begin Afresh is deliberately incomplete. The work is comprised of four short movements. The audience only hears three. The musicians select any three of the four movements and perform them in an order of their choice. Although they begin the fourth, they let the music "disappear" well before its conclusion notionally allowing it to be continued only in the imagination.
