Programme Notes
Vivid and distinct images of natural light in various forms inspired the work: sunlight burning through dense clouds, piercing glimpses of binding light catching your eye, rushing through the air. Part of this inspiration came from Pablo Nerudas poem entitled Alliance (Sonata) from collection Residence on Earth. The two instruments are in alliance throughout this short piece, together forming one melody with added touches of colour.
