In Night Episodes, each movement contrasts starkly with the next, and has nocturnal elements; hence the title. The first movement, Ether, is a depiction of a cloudy, pitch-black, night sky, with occasional flashes. Chant examines somber, Gregorian-esque material, with a few unexpected changes. Burlesque represents an angular, cubist, polyrhythmic, bizarre, dance -- something similar to a scene from Bartók's Miraculous Mandarin.
