about

by Paul Cutlan

The Eleventh Hour was written during the centenary of the end of the First World War, as a personal, philosophical reflection on human-kind’s predilection to fall into patterns of war and destruction.

Conflict is the most clearly programmatic movement, with distinct episodes evoking different scenarios of war. It progresses from the disciplined energy of armies marching willingly against each other, through to the reality of chaos and destruction. The horrors of hand-to-hand combat, trench warfare, stalemate and mustard gas can be imagined in later episodes. This movement ends with a fragment of the 1914 Christmas truce Silent Night in high cello harmonics, against the double bass intoning The Last Post, also in high harmonics.
