"I was very pleased to be asked to contribute to this wonderful project of the Oriana Women's Choir, called 'Children's Voices', which encouraged creativity in children. I was impressed by the imaginative imagery expressed in the children's poems; in my two pieces Landscape and Night, I tried to capture their images in shifting harmonic colours to show the changes from day to night. The choir's performance came across beautifully and showed great sensitivity to the texts."
