Songs for Fallow Fields has been performed in Cologne, Montréal, New York City and Utrecht…
Songs for Fallow Fields was written in two parts: the first two movements as I faced a diagnosis of infertility and the seeming reconfiguration of my life’s plans, and the latter two in the early stages of a joyously surprising pregnancy. The auspices of its creation, within a microtonal workshop, allowed me to focus on a harmonic language that suggested more ambiguity and complexity, as well as necessitated a certain rhythmic and textural simplification of my usual language. The short movements are largely homophonic and repetitive, an exercise in dialing back expectations and practicing joy with caution.
