1/5

for Solo Harp

Out of Silence

Note:

This work began as a contemporary dance score, and went

through several iterations before settling in its current

form. This version of the work is substantially different

from its original dance form, but keeps the sense of

lightness and of kinetic energy that the dance gave it. The

work should be performed with a sense of space andresonance, tentatively emerging from silence, before

returning to silence at the end.

Length:

approx 7:30
