Work Overview
This work is dedicated to Kambala School Principal, Margaret
White, in recognition of, and as a personal offering of thanks
for, her unwavering support of the Music Department over 14
years. It was premiered at her Farewell Concert in City Recital
Hall, Angel Place, on October 18, 2013.
Janus was the ancient Roman God of beginnings and transitions.
Like the two faces of Janus, this work simultaneously looks to
the past, with a dual sense of reflection and celebration, and to
the future, with all the exciting promise it brings.
