The title Chain 1 suggests both the form used in this work and the intention of composing more Chains in the future. In a work composed in chain form the music is devided in two standards. Particular sections do not begin at the same moment in each strand, nor do they end together. In other words, in the middle of a section in one strand a new section begins in the other. Toward the end the texture becomes more complex and consists of several individual parts played ad libitum which form a network of melodies to be played cantabile Chain 1 was written for and dedicated to Michael Vyner and London Sinfonietta. The premiere took place on October 4, 1983, in London; it was performed by the London Sinfonietta conducted by the composer.
