Inspired by Sarah Williams' poem The Old Astronomer this new concert work tells of the irony of life's moments of a life long lived through joy sadness longing endurance love and so many other lessons rolled into a vessel of musical inspiration. The shadows give perspective on things already known and the light although familiar was only mine on loan. I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night. Optional cello included this work is outstanding in text and music.
