Product details
The soft, rough strike of
matches.
Black space interrupted by a single yellow flame, joined in turn
by others.
Illumination established, a subtle breeze stirs an ebb and
flow,
bending simple arcs of flame, flickering through deep tunnels of
night.
Moments of reverie drifting back into consciousness and a final
dampening of candles,
gently fizzing back to darkness.
9 Candles for Dark
Nights was commissioned by Matthew
Hindson for the 2006 Aurora Festival. It was written for Marshall
McGuire to play at a concert by candlelight.
postscript:
At the time of writing this piece (April 2005), six navy and
three air force personnel serving aboard HMAS Kanimbla died when
their Sea King helicopter crashed while delivering aid to the
Indonesian island of Nias. At a national memorial service their
names were read out and nine candles lit. The title of this piece
was independently conceived but the coincidence is striking and
my thoughts are with them.
