Dark night variations (2008) Like on FB
15 minutes
This piano trio was written while I was working at West Side Kids. I had the idea one day to compose a piece with childlike bliss. This brought me to think of some of my childhood dreams, most of which were reoccurring, and for to most as dark as they were colorful. In Dark Night variations is a never-ending dream that takes you to other places. In the last movement all of the past moments come back and leave you asking; Am I still dreaming?
