Written in 1983 for the University of Auckland’s Centenary.

The title means “on the ebb and flow of things”. Musical ideas grow and recede.

The clarinet, violin, cello and horn all have cadenzas. And towards the end, the clarinet and horn go “offstage”.

Recorded in University of Auckland Music Theatre, 26 May 2019
Producer: Tim Dodd; Recording Engineer: Adrian Hollay
