Frozen Plains (For Chamber Orchestra), Performed by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, Summer 2021. Found out more at https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcnow

Programme Note: Frozen Plains is a composition inspired by the icy landscapes of Antarctica exploring how musical stasis can invoke the stillness found on these frozen icecaps. The title Frozen Plains serves a double meaning, representing both the static music in this piece as well as the imagery of glaciers. The landscape of Antarctica, a point of fascination for me, depicts ice continuously thawing and freezing as if the landscape is always changing shape. The music captures this through delicate textures and drifting melodies morphing from one idea to another. The ending of Frozen Plains hints towards our impact on the environment, where the layers of music melt away leaving only an intimate trio setting.
