SONATA (i) [2021]

 

Commissioned by the University of Oxford, and first performed by Amalia Young, on the 1st December 2021, in the Holywell Music Room, Oxford.

​

This Sonata movement began its life under the title 'A'arhiyib' - a dialect word for 'Dragon Blood Tree'; this dialect is spoken on the island of Socotra, off the coast of Yemen, where the tree can be found.

​

It is intended that further movements will be written for this Sonata.
