Work Overview
Ground Thunder Returns (2017) for piano and
double bass was inspired by hexagram 24, Fu/Return, from the
I Ching (Book of Changes). In response to the
commission brief, it explores a range of textures and
combinations on the two instruments, underpinned by ideas from
the composer's response to I Ching hexagram 24, encountered
through reading Wild Ivy: the Spiritual Autobiography of Zen
Master Hakuin (translated by Noramn Waddell).
