    On a Forest Path With Slugs

    The first part of a new four-movement suite Two Weeks in Another World. Solo guitar in a symmetrical A-B-C-B-A form; an adventure into a brief setting with careful footfalls.

    Hundred Years’ Return

    The old dwarf scholar was set in his ways. Stubborn, most people called him. Consistant, he thought. He sat at his book, poised, and continued to write.

    Campfire Tales

    Several figures sit or lie around the crackling fire. Sleep looms at the back of all their minds, but they are entranced by the wild tales being woven by one figure standing alone with the moon to his back.

    Ingrada

    Counterpoint as mother. A single melodic line meets another. Others are birthed. Their lives weave and twist through time, breaking away, coming together again. Threads of family that leave tracers as they fly, weaving a tapestry.

    Elegic

    A long and fruitful life now comes to a standstill as people remember him in passing. In an eternal memory, ostinati pass through time and repeat while others flow around. It is a constant undercurrent to daily lives.

    Scherzoleil

    A playful theme played on piano that bookends a more contemplative section in which a maturity begins to develop… But it is not yet the time, and the game begins anew.

    Metamorphosis

    A solo orchestral harp explores a constantly evolving series of melodic figures. It meanders, yet eventually comes back home as a slightly different being.

    Memories

    A solo celtic harp recalls events long forgotten, striving to put the pieces back together. All has not been lost, and a soft breath of relief makes its way through the night air.

    March

    The two harps come together in a celebratory dance. Their individually set tunings from the previous two pieces play together in order to create minor, major and modal scales.
