what her friend said (2008) for soprano and piano, written for Cathy Lewis
A Place to Listen
Cathy Lewis (soprano), Daniel Brandes (piano)
Sept 29, 7pm
James Bay United, 517 Michigan, Victoria

Program note: “What her friend said” is based on Kollan Arici’s poem of the same title. It is one of the earliest surviving texts of Tamil poetry from the Kuruntokai, an anthology of love lyrics probably recorded during the first three centuries AD.

The great city fell asleep
But we did not sleep.
Clearly we heard, all night,
from the hillock next to our house
the tender branches of the flower-crusted tree
with leaves like peacock feet
let fall
their blue-sapphire flowers.


pond tree for piano, percussion and cello, written for Blue Moss Ensemble
Rachel DeSoer (cello), Wesley Shen (piano), Daniel Morphy (percussion)
Sept 5, 8pm, The Array Space, Toronto
Alongside premieres by Otto Muller, Darren Miller, Emilie LeBel, and Mitch Renaud
Program note: On the north side of the mountain is a small pond, and beside it a tree. The walk back up is quite steep.


Fern for solo baroque flute written for Emma Elkinson
May 25, 8pm 
Music Gallery, Toronto
Program note: Ferns do not produce any flowers, reproducing instead via spores under their leaves. In the world of Finnish mythology, a fern flower therefore symbolizes the unattainable: that which one seeks but to no avail. Existing only in the realm of illusion, it encapsulates the image of an unreachable object. 


Drømde mik en drøm i nat… for english horn, french horn and string orchestra
I wrote this piece for my doctoral thesis. The title is taken from the oldest-surviving Nordic musical fragment with lyrical text, written at the end of Codex Runicus from the 14th century: “Drømde mik en drøm i nat um silki ok ærlik pæl” which translates as [I] dreamt me a dream last night of silk and lovely cloth.

Rhizome (re-imagined) for accordion and piano, commissioned by Ina Henning
DUO+for+CANADA, Ina henning and Stefan Schreiber (Stuttgart)
Sept 7, 8pm
Gallery 345 (345 Sorauren Avenue, Toronto)
Program note: Botanists still don’t fully understand flower production in bamboo: some flower infrequently, others only rarely, and some have never flowered in human memory. Depending on the species in fact, the flowers appear at intervals of several years, if not decades or even centuries (e.g. the following photo shows the Fargesia nitida species that flowers once every 120 years). When a particular species does flower it may be universal; in other words, all the plants in that species from the same generation, from the same parent rhizomes, no matter where they are around the globe, may flower at the same time. The plants flower profusely and often become weakened, so much so that they sometimes die.

Emily’s Piece for orchestra, commissioned by the Victoria Symphony
Oct 11, 8pm, conducted by Tania Miller
Farquar Auditorium, University of Victoria
Alongside works by T. Stokes, Georgio Magnenensi, Veda Hille, Barbara Croall
Program note: Emily’s Piece is an orchestra work in four movements based on a quartet of 1930s paintings by Emily Carr: Spring (1936-7), Pine Trees & Blue Sky (1935), Untitled Seascape (1935), and Scorned as Timber, Beloved of the Sky (1935). This was a searching time for Emily Carr during which she challenged herself to find new approaches to express a deep connection to home, with its rainforests, mountains and ocean-swept skies. The paintings that resulted were some of the most progressive in Canada at that time.
