Gently Through the Night

flute, viola, and harp (2021)

duration: 14:00


program note

Gently Through the Night (2021), for flute viola, and harp, is loosely based on a strange dream about a boat made out of music, making its way through the night world, with all its beauty, mystery, and fears. Written for Chimera (James Hall, flute; Catherine Beeson, viola; Lynette Wardle, harp) and premiered at Loon Lake Live in August 2022, the piece is dedicated to introverts everywhere. As a flutist myself, I’ve always loved Debussy’s trio for flute viola, and harp, which uses the fragile, quiet qualities of these instruments so beautifully.
