Lullaby (Dart)

For cello and piano, c.4'00

Words from Hamlet that were read at Rod West’s funeral: ‘Good night, sweet prince, And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!’. Through the interweaving of a simple melodic line in the cello and the wistful contrapuntal lines of the piano, this piece is both a peaceful welcome to a new life, and a reflective farewell to a life that has passed into rest.

Based on the Baroque genre, but introducing newer elements.
Composed 2016
