Description
A series of archaeological expeditions to East Turkestan, conducted by Sir Aurel Stein in the early
part of this century, unearthed several fragments of knotted carpets dating
from the third and sixth centuries. Though these fragments were too small to
indicate either its design or provenance, they did convey a long tradition of
carpet weaving. This is to a large degree the extended metaphor of my
composition: not the suggestion of an actual completed work of “art”, but the history in Western music of putting sounds
and instruments together.
