Faerie Dance (feat. Astralis Quartet)

A minimalistic deconstruction of the classic Irish hymn, Be Thou My Vision, for strings, piano, and vibraphone.

Composed by Jessica Foreman, 2025.

Still Be My Vision

A graceful and uplifting composition, built on delicate piano motifs, shimmering textures, and a sense of gentle forward motion. It conveys elegance, optimism, and emotional depth — ideal for moments of quiet triumph, heartfelt storytelling, or thoughtful reflection in film or commercial work.

Le Bouquet

Written in one breath following a turbulent night caused by an astonishing and deeply upsetting conversation with an unsuspected holocaust denier. A chilling and extremely negative encounter. 

The Welsh word ‘Distaw’ is given to that special calm which follows any storm, be it physical or psychological. Thus the first movement is violent, disruptive and unpredictable, the second is the opposite - a calm (invented) chorale alternates with a soothing melody.

This Quartet is dedicated ‘to the Denied.’

If anyone wants to try performing any of this stuff on real instruments please send a message and I can provide scores. Not sure how playable some of it is for human musicians though.
