Stanza is based on the riddle canon ''Ave Maris
Stella'' (± 1549) by the Dutch composer Ghiselin Danckerts,
which has the appearance of a chess board filled with notes.
It is dedicated to the Italian composer Aldo Clementi, himself
a keen chess player and creator of numerous compositions with
music boxes.
Stanza has three versions: a diatonic version for music box, the present chromatic version for positive organ and 8 instruments and a microtonal one for bass flute solo and 8 string players.
