Description
The title is a reworking of a phrase in D. M. Thomas’ ‘The White Hotel’ which I reread while composing this piece. I was especially interested in the dreamlike and highly charged poem near the start of the novel, which seemed, in my mind, to have certain parallels with the music that I was writing.
As it is only a short six minute work, I wanted to stick to one idea throughout and explore that. I imagined the piece to have a warmth and a certain haziness, and the result is that virtually every new pitch is scored with glissandi, harmonics, flutter-tonguing, tremolandi and molto vibrato. But the music is very slow throughout, and only properly ‘blazes’ in the final section.
