"Canterbury" (2004)

Lento (5:03) 
Lydia Munchinsky, cello; Gregory Millar, piano

The piano part of “
Canterbury” is based on a four-bell change-ringing pattern called “Canterbury Minimus,” in use at Canterbury Cathedral, in England. Four “bells” (represented by four different piano chords) are presented in all possible permutations according to a pre-determined formula – while the cello plays long, lyrical phrases that rise to a high C and descend to the instrument’s lower range. This recording was made at a live performance at the University of Toronto's Victoria College Chapel, on November 29, 2006.
