Work Overview
The title of this work reflects the manner in which the music in
each section gradually unfolds and 'emerges' from small embryonic
ideas and cells of musical material. There is also a subtle
suggestion of the word 'emergency', or perhaps in this case more
correctly of 'emerging urgency' which, in the context of the
work, reflects the fast paced energy and rhythmic momentum that
dominates the music in the first and final
sections.
