PROGRAMME NOTE
Ripped Tapestry is built of five short movements, all responding to the famous anonymous medieval secular song ‘l’homme armé’. The title refers to the idea of an imaginary tapestry – depicting the armed man – destroyed, ripped apart resulting in an abstracted version of the original. The music follows in this vein.
