This composition is an epic work for nine players. It is 74 minutes long.

It was created in a way that one large four-movement work was written, but also nine small works we written as well (see CD54) A pattern of ensemble reoccurred in each of the four movements so, the work opens with a section for all nine players, followed by subgroup sections:
