In the Falling Dark 3 (solo piano)

Composed in 2024 for solo piano. Commissioned by pianist David Potvin, and premiered on September 13, 2024 at St. Andrew's United Church, Truro, Nova Scotia.

In the Falling Dark 3 is a celebration of Nova Scotia’s Annapolis Valley’s beauty; the dykes, rolling fields, “mountains,” the fresh air and the vast expanse of stars that are visible on a clear night. The piece is in three movements, each one evoking a particular facet of the Valley’s beauty. Listeners will hear the magnificence of an early morning sunrise, a melody that soars over rolling hills and dykes, the waves crashing on the shores of the Bay of Fundy (at high tide of course!) and the endless splendour of a clear night sky.
