Winter Flight (2020) — ca. 5'00"
Program Note
One morning a in 2020, I woke up with the idea for this piece in my head, and I straight away wrote down what I heard, which became the first 30 bars of this (after a bit of tweaking). I spent I quite a while trying to figure out what time signature it was in, but after humming the tune over a few time I was shocked to discover it really was in 13/8!
I originally titled the piece "Winter Mornings" since it is winter here in NZ and I love winter mornings, but I realise that for many people winter mornings probably sounds like the worst thing ever so I changed it to Winter Flight. Hopefully that sounds a bit more uplifting.
