Lovely snowdrops in the garden... Imagine, how it would sound, if the little flowers could create some music... :)
I tried and this piece came up, when I was improvising on my piano. I added some strings and here it is... 
The german title means "Snowdrops whispering in evening snow"

Schneeglöckchenwispern im Abendschnee - Snowdrops whisper in the evening snow

After a nice three hour choir rehearsal I had to relax a bit, so I felt it in my soul that a little song needed to be born. And out came this one, that I think says everything about me at the moment. I´m really happy with it, especially since it´s mostly improv but I´m pretty sure it will stay with me for awhile this one.

It´s about our fight with the unreachable, which is what most of us are always doing, trying to get somewhere, but when we get there a new goal appears, so in a way many of our goals are always unreachable.

Hope you enjoy it and please leave feedback if you do, and also if you don´t,  I really like reading all your comments my friends.

PROGRAM NOTE
For many years, my wife Victoria and her FAB5 quintet (string quartet and percussion), have entertained thousands of people at numerous performance spaces and travel hubs in New York City, including Moynihan Train Hall, Oculus World Trade Center, Javits Center, and Chelsea Market. Having seen many of their shows, especially those at travel hubs, there's a certain tension and release you experience watching people wait anxiously for their trains, and then the release they feel when they are finally on their way. I've had these experiences myself, so I wanted to create two pieces that emulate these feelings.

Wound Up/Unwind consists of two contrasting pieces for string quartet and percussion. The first, Wound Up, for string quartet and cajón, imitates the feeling of being worried, anxious, and frustrated, especially while waiting to board a train. The second, Unwind, for string quartet and handpan, is calm and soothing, perhaps emulating the satisfying feeling of relaxing in a quiet seat as the train leaves the station. Both pieces can be performed independently and in any order.

Wound Up/Unwind is written for and commissioned by the FAB5 quintet with support from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

Dreams - where escape comes.  
notes -  always sweetly played.
Darkness of night 
a drifting calmness
as the music spills
from tireless hands
