The piece, "On Light and Birds", was inspired by Elizabeth Jennings’ poem "Bird Sunrise in Winter":

Close eyes. Stay still and you can hear
Rising of sun, ferocious cries
Speaking of birth about your ear,
An eloquence of skies.

Winter perhaps but this is spring
Wrung from cold earth. Harsh life asserts
Its pressure on the air, will sing
Until the singing hurts.

Open your eyes. The light is birds
They bear the sun and clip it round.
Almost they break out into words
In this impulse of sounds.

While composing the work, I imagined the quintet as a flock. The music takes on a flight with free, fluctuating, sometimes unified, and sometimes chaotic movements — movements of lights and shadows, of moments and memories, and of an invincible and vigorous vitality within all living creatures.

On Light and Birds (2017) - for woodwind quintet
