Kenneth Young says of his inspiration for this work," We all have wistful and intangible glimpses of our subconscious which seem to move swiftly and then vanish as we become aware of them."

The composer comments, “Melancholia is a very straightforward little piece and is a meditation on loneliness … I was mindful of the guitar’s intimate qualities which help to convey an introspective mood.” Melancholia was commissioned by Sue Court for a book of ten NZ guitar works, Guitar Aotearoa.

In 1981 I composed a series of piano pieces called Poems of Spring, in which I juxtaposed the exhilarating beauty of a Christchurch spring with the terrible pain of a broken relationship. Ten years later, and in the middle of a cruel Dunedin winter, I recalled this Christchurch spring as I was composing this short piece for the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra. 1991 was a year in which I managed to climb out of a dark phase in my life, and consequently this piece expresses a sense of excitement and affirmation.

Lasting just under 3 minutes, it was designed as a fanfare to open a concert and combines several short motifs into a busy mosaic of sound. Yet Another Poem of Spring is recorded by the NZSO on their Landscapes CD, released by Morrison Music Trust (MMT2037) in 2001.
