Flowers and Foliage for solo percussion (2018)
Flowers and Foliage is a bouquet of five miniatures for solo percussionist, which alternate between tonal, floral harmonies on tenor steelpan and brittle, twig-like percussive textures. Throughout the work, the audience focuses their eye on different points in a floral arrangement, with the other materials always in the periphery. As each movement blooms into its own identity, be it romantic, playful, or austere, there is a constant sense that these combinations are necessary, as these opposites enrich each other.
Instrumentation:
tenor pan, 5 wood planks, sandblocks, crunch sound
