World première performed by Juliette Bausor and Eilidh Gillespie at The Sage, Gateshead, England, on 8th February 2013.

For two flutes, composed January-February 2013.

This work is inspired by the 'Evening Prayer' duet from Act II of Engelbert Humperdinck’s opera Hänsel und Gretel.

A cuckoo is perched on the tallest branch of the tallest tree in the forest. She hears the breeze rustle the leaves below. She feels a second breeze rustle her feathers. She looks down at the forest floor. A boy is picking strawberries. A girl is threading a crown of flowers. A magical creature approaches them and places a grain of sand on each of their eyes. The children suddenly feel tired. As they fall into a deep sleep, they say a prayer. They pray for fourteen angels to come and protect them while they play in their dreamland. Instead of angels, the cuckoo spies a witch leaving her gingerbread house and making her way towards them...

Birth and Immortality

Vierzehn Englein

Do you ever feel that the age of your soul doesn’t match with the age of your body? The title "Old Soul" came about in a conversation with flutist Lindsey Goodman where she described herself as an “old soul in a new body.” Initially, it was uttered in a musical context, referring to the conflict between the classic music that she loved to listen to and the avant-garde things that she loved to play. It was something that resonated with me as a composer who has frequently struggled with reconciling my desire to write “pretty music” with my desire to experiment with techniques more at home in the “new music” world.  I started thinking about the meaning of “old soul” and the alienation that one can feel when there seems to be a disconnect between our inner being and our outer lives. But then, is there really a problem, or are we just too “young” to put the pieces together? This piece celebrates reaching a certain age and realizing that the things you thought were conflicts and contradictions growing up have shaped you into your real self.
