'Too Cold to Sleep' is a reflection on the situation in which many vulnerable people are finding themselves in these difficult times. The discordant opening theme represents the gentle rocking of a cradle. This theme is twisted through nine variations, the fifth of which is an emotional meditation for solo violin. The opening theme returns, leading to a gentler and more beautiful version of the theme that sinks into a sense of acceptance.
