Product Description
Mysterious piece in octatonic mode, originally written for the short story "The Door":
High up on the grassy hill behind the town there is a door.
It stands there in its frame with nothing before or behind it.
It is locked shut.
There is no key.
We climb the hill each day.
We play each side of the door, games of hide and seek.
But we cannot go through the door. Each day we go there during this long sultry summer holiday.
We are fascinated by the structure.
Why would anyone put a door up there, in its frame, eternally locked, with nothing before or behind it?
Maybe it is all that remains of an ancient house?
We play, we wonder, we laugh and play, and we return regularly to our homes in time for tea.
Then, one day, as we climb the hill for the umpteenth time, a lady dressed in white arrives before us.
We watch her take the key out of her bag and insert it in the lock.
We are too far downhill to catch up before she closes the door behind her.
As we arrive, puffing and panting, Steve knocks on the door.
No answer.
Dave knocks on the door more forcefully. We hear a distant swish of robes.
Gloria knocks, perhaps a little more timidly as the swishing sound approaches.
Estelle begins to knock in her turn and the door suddenly opens wide.
We all gasp as we see the lady standing there in glistening robes....
