Secret Ceremonials is essentially a set of theme and variations, but rather than varying a given melody, here different textures, fragments and motifs are taken apart and put back together in a variety of different ways. The work is also an exploration of a very rigid harmonic design with each ‘variation’ starting from the same harmonic point and traversing the same distance, but in a different fashion.
