James' Day 19 - Hocket

A Hocket (in mediaeval music) is a melody shared between two (or sometimes more) instruments, where they take it in turns to play alternate notes.

My piece today is a three-part Hocket (for three different melody instruments). There's a strong sense of playing a game in the complexity of the resulting music, and the melody keeps going off the rails and splitting into simultaneous lines travelling in different directions.

The timbral differences between whichever three instruments perform it should also create ever-changing sound colours and combinations,
