Description:
Setting William Johnson Cory's translation of Callimachus's epigram, this poignant piece exemplifies Skempton's minimalist aesthetic. Using a restrained rhythmic palette of minims and crotchets, the work employs strict homophony and four-part harmony, unfolding with a fluidity that closely mirrors the poem's structure.
