Work Overview

The music itself is not complex and leaves room for the instrumentalists to explore the sonorities within the textures, their own instrument but most importantly between the trio. The idea of 'three' is intricately woven into the score and it is the THREE musicians that should bring their own selves to create a new ONE - so to speak.

Midnight Songs Movt III: 'Variations' is related to Glisten (solo piano) and Introduced Species Movt III: 'Plummet' through the use of the same melodic theme but all three pieces delve in different musical directions.
