Program NotesNexus: Sonaspheres 2, composed in 1983 is the second in a series of five compositions, which are related by various melodic shapes and motives. The five compositions are Sonaspheres 1, Nexus, Ensphere, TrOmPer, And Sonashpheres 2. All five can be programmed together as well as individually.

Nexus, as the title implies, has as a major characteristic, motives and melodic lines that are most often connected by pitch, timbral, and/or rhythmic relationships. The horizontal pitch material is drawn from a 12-tone set, first stated in the opening measures, while the harmonic properties are basically two tri-chords and chromatic clusters.

Nexus is in three major sections with the two primary gestures in the opening measures being developed throughout the work by a variation technique. --Frederick Fox
