40 days and 40 nights was commissioned by Listenpony, and first performed at Listenpony #13, February 2017, by Albion Quartet.
William writes:
This piece was made out of playing with a hymn, the 1600s 'Heinlein' tune by Martin Herbst, an earworm of mine. The notes of each bar chunk of the hymn are mushed together and, and playfully jump between the instruments.
