Fragile was one of those piece’s which was rattling around in my brain for a long time before I had a chance to put it together. 

It was when I saw the devastating destruction of the Australian bushfires of 2020 that spurred me to compose this piece after feeling so much loss and sadness for the destruction that the fires caused, but also frustration and anger that we find ourselves in these situations and continue to ignore our impact on the planet 

The piece itself is simple - the same chord progression for all three movements. I wanted to highlight the fragility of our planet with this simple chord progression… starting with the heavily effected, dark and brooding first movement, moving to the quiet and reflective second movement, and finally the energetic and hopeful third movement. 

I like to think that although we have (and a lot of us still are) living through one of the most challenging times of our lives, that there is hope for us that we can come together and save our fragile planet
