about

See sheet music for full details. In brief:

I. 4/4, 66.6 bpm 66mm 237 sec
II. 3/4, 36 bpm 31mm 155 sec
Which leaves 202 sec to reach 594 so
III. 5/4 51.75bpm 35mm 202 sec

Architecture of the first mvmt is a binary of 35 and 31 bars. 24 bar base with 11 or 7 bars of development, 11+7 is 18, 1+8 is 9.
A 4 bar base, then varies in each binary section later, and then insert development episodes, cadenza, and prologue bars ad lib to reach 11 and 7.

Architecture of mvmt II. Beat patterns follow the cube. Also, every 24 beats (8 bars) a 'sam' cycle of polyrhythms.

12 beat pattern in harp (4 bars in 3/4x2=8bar)
6 beat in kb (2 bar in 3/4x4=8bars)
8 beat in strings 2 2/3 bars (3x=8bars)
They align at 24, 48, and 72, and 144 beats

31 bars in 3/4 is 93 beats, so the biggest possible alignment is the 72 beats, which is 24 bars basis, 8bar theme x3 occurrences
with variation in each (sort of like theme and variations form).

Architecture of third movement is cube+9. 12+6+8+9=35 bars

Ratio of bars to minutes/time/length of piece
1 - 132 bars

14256/144=99

99 is the simple gematria for new moon (silver/108 also represents the full moon), 594 is the english gematria. 594 seconds is
9.9 min, total length of the piece
