“Versus” explores the idea of a simultaneous existence and the tension it creates – this is
represented in the two juxtaposed sections. There is a sense of resistance in the dense
micropolyphonic texture. It carries the music through to an explosive climax, cutting the form into
a “before” and “after”.
