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.

Sleep Song is the ninth piece in the resulting collection Towards The Light.  In the restful key of G flat major, it captures those mystical moments between consciousness and sleep.
