The document is a program note for the piece "The Tower" composed by Anthony Moles. It was originally commissioned for an ensemble called the Syzygy Ensemble. The piece was inspired by the Petersham Reservoir in Sydney's Inner West area, which consists of two nested water towers. The title "The Tower" refers both to the reservoir and to the Tarot card of the same name, which depicts a tower being struck by lightning. The piece is written in memoriam of composer Louis Andriessen and aims to represent themes of chaos, upheaval, and rebirth suggested by the Tarot card. It is scored for flute, bass clarinet, violin, cello, and piano.
