The paper details and discusses the compositional issues and techniques employed in the candidate's M.Mus. Thesis Composition Filigranes pour les Freres Limbourg. The piece takes its title and inspiration from the work of the fourteenth-century master-illuminators and also makes reference to music of the same period, while at the same time being grounded in a post-serial aesthetic. The composition's relationship to these models and the specific compositional processes derived from the resulting fusion of certain aspects of mediaeval music (including modality and numerology) with serial technique are described and illustrated. Special emphasis is placed on the interaction of abstract organisational principles (such as permutation) and their musical results.
