Product details

Siobhan Lenihan has been a close friend and colleague for many years, and was responsible for my composing my first quartet, Torquing Points, as part of a residency with Musica Viva in Schools, a program that she administered. So it is a great delight to compose a piece honouring her parents, Dolores and Denis, who were also very dear to me.

The piece was completed in May 2023 and is in one movement. It begins in slow, simple fashion, with modal counterpoint derived from a favourite plainchant that also informs much of the rest of the piece. A new section maintains the original pulse, but now in 6/ 8, leading to the work's fastest section
where terse rhythmic ideas create contrast with more extended, serene counterpoint. The final section is slow, but ornately decorated.
