COMPOSER’S NOTE

From 2006-2007 I was Classic FM’s composer in residence, and was commissioned to write twelve pieces for piano.  The brief from Classic FM was to create soothing, accessible and sight-readable pieces but for the pianist there are a few more complicated timings that make it very interesting and rewarding to play.

Ebb Tide is the sixth piece in the resulting collection Towards The Light.  With its hypnotic undulations, it is a direct response to the spacious seascapes of the Norfolk coast and the eternal movement of the tide.
