Comm
issioned by Carolyn
Mills, principal harpist
of the New Zealand
Symphony Orchestra, this
mysterious solo work
dwells somewhere between
consonance and
dissonance, evoking the
otherworldly quality of
the ancient. The work's
spacious, senza misura
opening gradually reveals
its scalar material,
coloured with harmonics,
before eventually
settling into an
undulating odd-metered
pattern. Musical elements
never remain static, with
incremental harmonic
changes taking place
alongside gentle tempo
fluctuations.
