Written for the mighty and versatile Len Anderson, the
Third Suite is "rule" music, or music composed within a
set of parameters; all material is derived from the
interval of the mighty and versatile third, either
melodically, harmonically or by harmonic movement
through modular sequences of thirds. "Pen" is for
Penny, grande dame of the squeezebox, much loved and
dearly missed.
