Sense and Insouciance

For piano, sleight bells, marimba, cymbals and drums, c.3'35

The constrictions on a teenage girl’s romantic sensibilities make her somewhat frazzled and irritable during the Covid-19 lockdown - but then she decides to deal with the deprivation with wisdom and prudence, striving to be sensible under the imposed circumstances. She raids her family library and does what is practical and somewhat functional, in choosing to settle down to Jane Austen’s famous book “Sense and Sensibility”.

The quirky and nonchalant music - fragmented melodies logically bound together but seemingly somewhat in limbo, captures her mood and pleases her sensibilities.

Composed 2020
