'cello and piano

(2013)  

6'


These four tiny sketches were doodled during the summer and autumn  of 2013. The final one quotes from my opera 'Odysseus Unwound',  as a small memorial tribute to Lise Sinclair (1971-2013), folk-singer, poet and native of Fair-Isle, Shetland, who introduced me to the magic of that island  while writing the opera in 2004/2005 .
