About
Chant was written in 2002 for Thomas Hecht, who was then the piano teacher at the Victoria University School of Music. The work was influenced to some extent by Tom's prodigious technique and his abiding interest in romantic tonal music. The music becomes a dialogue between tonally ambiguous music and the tonally clear. In the end the tonal world wins, but with ambiguity appropriate to the overall character of the piece.
