Sono

Duration: 13' 00" Year: 2000
for piano trio

• Instrumentation
  for piano, violin and cello
• Programme Note

  The idea for this piece began with the Portuguese word “sono” which describes the felling of wanting to go to sleep – but in a mental rather than a physical way. In the case of this piece, the desire for sleep is inspired by wanting to rejoin a dream – and in my experience, it is always impossible to do this once having woken up.

  The trio begins with an impassioned even which soon disappears, leaving the piano alone to dream about it – and you will hear a repeating note emerge which sits throughout the music, representing the real world lingering in the background. Around this note, the dream wander, in chords and gestures on the piano, and in deep breaths and ascending melodies on the strings, which never quite seem to arrive at thier destination.
