Like Goehr's quintet for clarinet and strings op. 79, manere is influenced by early music and more specifically the Gregorian chant "Sic eum volo manére" found in the Graduale Romanorum. The work itself is a 7 minute flowing dialogue between clarinet and violin characterised by a "drivenness, a felicitous racing through sections [and] a relishing of the structural advantages of unbroken flow" (Paul Driver, The Sunday Times).
