The motion of Centrifugues generates from a 'spinning trill' with an attendant tattoo of accented repeated notes that creates an expansive resonance which has an air of brilliancy about it, like vistas in clear nights. Altogether, it is a compelling testament to the work of a composer who sees music as one of the great powers of the universe, ranking alongside electrical, gravitational and magnetic energy as a force to be manipulated and controlled.
