Music for Piano Trio/ The March of Folly was inspired by Barbara Tuchman's book of the same name. In her book, Ms. Tuchman defines folly as, the pursuit by governments of pursuing policies contrary to their own interests. In the preface she asks, why do holders of high office so often act contrary to the way reason points seem so often not to function? She illuminates four decisive points in history that illustrate the very heights of folly in government, and illustrates folly as 'a child of power'.

Composer's note: In 2000 I wrote a piece called Sand Waltz for the Canberra Wind Players. In the middle of it I wrote a four-chord progression. WhenI started working on the ballet Wild Swans (2003) I came back to this material and it became something that I grew to rather like. Eventually it became the basis for the overture to the whole ballet. It had somewhat dreamy quality but also a sense of anticipationand mystery. Later, when writing this as the first movement of the Concert Suite Wild Swans I gave it a title Green Leaf as it refected the way the princess Eliza was making a hole in a green leaf to look through it, imagining far-away exotic lands and birds..
