Program notes

Shining Through emerged from a timbral idea, that of the harmonic trills which form a significant portion of the strings’ material. The material from these trills, both timbrally and harmonically, has informed the development of the piece. The title “Shining Through” refers to a shifting of worlds, in which one world can momentarily “shine through” into another, maybe when it is most needed?
