A simple piece, (and intentionally so) A Moment's Peace, was initially composed for the young ones. However, after rewriting and developing it later on, I found the simplicity and stillness of the work speaks to, or is it resonates with, the psyche of even the  more 'mature' members of the species.

Historical

​

Initially idea composed in 2006, this work began as a quick sketch for some young beginner violin students of mine in need of something to play (I think they had forgotten to bring their music book to the lesson!).

​

As I wrote in the foreword of the score:

" The impetus for revising and publishing this piece, however, comes from my work with my young student, Joon Hee (Miss Julia) Lim, who, after almost one and a half years on the violin, continues, on a weekly basis, to do amazing things." (So appropriate it is that we record it tovether, now, almost many years later -Nov, 2020)

​

​

I developed it further in 2011 into its present form; still simple, but now just music, not specifically only for students. Going through the process of cataloguing and archiving my works, I remembered that I had an idea at the time that it would work rather well for cello, but never quite got around to doing so. So, there you go, it's done.
