This work for string quartet, by Paul Richards, gradually unfolds different beat subdivisions (pulses) and tonal centers (drones) in a rhythmic arch form, followed by a sustained chorale coda with very little sense of pulse. Pulse and Drone was the winner of the 2000 New Music for Sligo Irish Music Rights Organization
