ABOUT THE WORK
The delicately resonant world of the work conveys the humbling feeling of finding the long-forgotten music box of childhood. Dedicated warmly to the memory of George Dunne, my first music teacher, an authentic elder with an unbroken inner-child.

Composed especially for Dohyo Sol (Archlute) & Marcus Mohlin (Harpsichord) from Camerata Øresund, Denmark. Jointly commissioned by the West Cork Chamber Music Festival and the Cork County Council Arts Office to mark the 25th anniversary of the purchase of the Cork County Council Harpsichord. Cork County Council and West Cork Music acknowledge the support of the Arts Council of Ireland.
