Important Moments, from the inside.
The music unfolds through flowing lines over gentle harmonies. Without relying on grand gestures, it creates an arc that suggests the memory of moments that remain with us.
The score
The music, on the page.
The first page reveals how flowing lines over gentle harmonies organises the musical discourse.
