    This suggests there were four movements as you have them.
    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

      Very many thanks for finding this. It looks as though the first movement of the work got lost when processing the recording. I have: 'A day without yesterday', 'Black rain', 'Einstein cross' and 'Internebula' as stated by the announcer. Have you any idea what the first movement is called? I've searched and cannot find a listing.
      Those titles match the four movements as announced:
      • A day without yesterday - which begins with a single line
      • Black rain - a pizzicato dance
      • Einstein cross - a reference to a gravitational illusion where a galaxy hides itself behind another and becomes more visible
      • Internebula - and here, harmonic fragments hurtle through space apparently out of control


      Here's the introduction, inc. a brief one by Deirdre Gribbin.


      French Frank's notes are very helpful.
      This interview might also add some background.
      Episode 46 features composer Deirdre Gribbin on her latest commission 'Dark Matter Hunting' from the West Cork Chamber Music Festival and her long association with the Bantry-based festival and artistic director Francis Humphrys on this year's programme and the challenges of putting on an online festival. Presented by Jonathan Grimes and Evonne Ferguson.
