The title Par-feshani-ye 'Eshq translates, in English, to The Fluttering Wings Of Love and was taken from a text by the 18th century Sufi poet Bidel . Each brief movement takes a couplet from the poem as inspiration, drawing on an extraordinary array of images of clay pots on waterwheels, a nightingale’s fluttering wings, weighty fetters links and the world’s garden roses. The work is dedicated to friends Renée Reznek and Bruce Wannell. Bruce introduced Harrison to the poetry of Bidel and Renée had the privilege of performing the piece on its premiere performance.

This tiny piece was written as a response to hearing the premiere of Nicola LeFanu's momentous orchestral work The Crimson Bird on 17 February 2017. Nicola was my teacher and supervisor from 1986 to 1989, during my studies at King's College London. Although my formal study with her lasted just these three years, her influence on my creative life has been immense and invaluable, and continues to be felt in every piece I write. Luna ... is marked 'A starlit lullaby'. Its final notes, E and F, supply the letters of Nicola's surname missing from the title. The work was recorded by Philippa Harrison on Return of the Nightingales-Music for solo piano (Prima Facie 2017). - Sadie Harrison.

“Over the years my orchestral music has become simpler and more expansive. Clouds of Forgetting, Clouds of Unknowing (1991-95) contains four different musical textures. In the White Silence (1998) has three. For Lou Harrison (2002) reduces this to just two. In Dark Waves (2007), I finally got to one. When I first heard that piece I began to wonder if I could sustain a similar sound for a longer span of time. The result is Become Ocean, a meditation on the vast, deep and mysterious tides of existence. The title is borrowed from a mesostic verse that John Cage wrote in honor of Lou Harrison's birthday. Likening Harrison's music to a river in delta, Cage writes: Listening to it we become ocean. Life on this earth first emerged from the sea. And as the polar ice melts and sea level rises, we humans find ourselves facing the prospect that once again we may quite literally become ocean.†John Luther Adams.

Composed in 2012, the two pieces in Sadie Harrison’s Heartoutbursts! take their inspiration from traditional English folk. ' ...in the folk-song there is to be found the complete history of a people, recorded by the race itself, through the heartoutbursts of its healthiest output. It is a history compiled with deeper feeling and more understanding than can be found among the dates and data of thegreatest historian... '(Percy Grainger 1922) In 1905, Joseph Taylor won a Lincolnshire folksong competition with his rendition of Brigg Fair , a song he had learnt from a gypsy. Australian composer Percy Grainger subsequently published a setting in his Lincolnshire Posy , with Delius usingthe tune in his rhapsody, Brigg Fair . Both composers sought to vivify the tradition of English folksong, celebrating not only the ancient tunes and words but also the qualities of particular folksingers like Joseph Taylor. Harrison’s own Australian Heartoutbursts! follow unashamedly in the Grainger tradition with echoes of the original folktunes underpinning both songs Brigg Fair and The Seeds of Love . Although different in character, both texts use similar images as analogies for the joys and despairing associated with love - the lark and violet symbolize youth, the lily as virginity, the red rose as true love, and the willow representing falsehood and abandonment.

Sadie Harrison 's Squish! (King Kong's Love Song) for String Quartet. Composed and published 2016. Dedicated to Cuatro Puntos and The American School for the Deaf. Squish! is a love story, King Kong’s love story. But not the conventional one immortalised in the 1933 Hollywood film - the terrifying giant ape astride the Empire State Building who clasps the fainting heroine, while swiping hopelessly at the planes which eventually send him crashing dead to the ground. This is the American Sign Language (ASL) version which has something of a twist at the end. Squish! was written as Composer-in-Residence with Cuatro Puntos and was commissioned with funds from the Connecticut Officeof the Arts. The premiere took place at the American School for the Deaf (the oldest permanent school for the deaf in the United States founded in 1817) in West Hartford, Connecticut, on 7th December 2016.

Sadie Harrison 's Hantu for Double Bass and Piano. Composed 2013 and published 2016. Duration: 8 minutes. Hantu was written especially for Nick Lum as part of the first prize awarded for his performance in the Wells Double Bass Recital Competition in 2013. The title means ‘ghost’ in Malaysian (Lum is from Kuala Lumpar), with the piece taking its inspiration from the country’s annual Festival of the Hungry Ghosts. The Piano is transformed into a westernised gamelan orchestra with ‘gongs’, ‘kendang drums’, and ‘bamboo flutes’. The music is highly repetitive with rhythm and pitch cycles used toimitate the structure of much gamelan music. The piece is divided into three main sections. The first and last are dark and menacing, marked ‘a slow procession of spirits’. The central section, entitled ‘The ghost’s dance’ is a quirky, virtuosic interplay between pizz and arco, building to a wild crescendo before a return to the procession which gradually disappears into the night. The Double Bass is often used in its highest, lyrical register, singing out fragments from a Malaysian melody entitled Anak Indung. This tune is heard over the top of the procession music, an attempt to dispel the evil spirits through the beauty of song. The piece was kindly commissioned by The Friends of Music at Wells Cathedral School and given its first performance by Nick Lum and Gemma Beeson at Wells Cathedral School on 23 June 2013.
