While writing this quintet Berkeley had in mind the paintings of John Craxton and Mark Rothko, and the way in which paint can vibrate as colours collide. The piece opens with the oboe intoning three notes, and at pivotal moments in the music this lachrymose motif imposes itself, though in varied permutations.
