This piece is from an album called Songs of the Zodiac: twelve acoustic pieces for piano, cello and flute in a contemporary, neo-classical style with touches of Ludovico Einaudi, Eric Satie, Philip Glass and Astor Piazzolla. This music is very suitable to combine with poetry, storytelling, meditation or other performances like dance or ballet.

Originally this music was written for flute, cello and piano, but in effect the music is meant for two melodic instruments (one high and one low) and piano. So please feel free to play it in other combinations.

A link for free download of the piano-only tracks for accompaniment is provided for studying or performing when no pianist is at hand.

The album is recorded by Triskel Trio: Marit Hille Ris Lambers (flute), Froukje de Wit (cello) and Henk Bloemers (piano).

You can also find Triskel Trio on Spotify.

Grade: intermediate to advanced players are required.
