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.

Serenitas is the second piece in the resulting collection Towards The Light and earned its name following a competition hosted by Classic FM for a suggested title which perfectly encapsulates its gentle oscillating feel.  Made up of simple piano configurations it both enhances the tranquil mood, and also asks searching questions about the journey ahead.
