(Impresa Amorosa)  is a set of seven short  pieces  for solo piano. The work takes its name from the 15th Century  practice in which jousting knights and their ladies exchanged love tokens (impresa amorosa), the identity and significance of which were known only  to each other.  The 16th Century impresa consisted of an image and accompanying motto, each complementing the other so that neither alone could convey  the full meaning. The picture was known as the corpo (body) and the words as the anima (spirit) without which the body has no life.  Whilst retaining its more superficial function of  the riddle, the impresa was also adopted by the neo-platonists as one of the symbols of the inadequacy of language to communicate effectively, and as such, for them it represented an escape from the limitations of discursive speech. It is at this point that the relationship between the aesthetic of the impresa and the musical Impresa Amorosa begins.

The pieces are short, some less than a minute long, each characterised differently in response to the chosen impresa. Occasionally, the music attempts to paint a tone picture of the image, as in the flickering light of the Candle, but more often it seeks to illuminate the motto, - the endless, unresolved cycle of the Falcon, the false-starts, dead-ends and repeated changes of direction in the Labyrinth,  the schizophrenic movements of a speeding Tortoise , and the anguish expressed through the motto of the Cross. On a technical level, the pieces are unified by a 12 note  row, on an expressive one, by the motto ‘”Sufficit lumen in tenebris”  which, accompanied by the image of a single burning candle, formed the impresa of Isabella d’Este from 1525 - 1530.
