Program Note

Inspired by my walks along the American River in Sacramento, Under Moonlight can be taken as a collection of different “night scenes” in five movements, which tries to evoke not only the beautiful and tranquil, but also the curious and mysterious wonder of night. While I think of it as a set of character pieces, I also see it as a continuous and evocative narrative.Inspired by my walks along the American River in Sacramento, Under Moonlight can be taken as a collection of different “night scenes” which tries to evoke not only the beautiful and tranquil, but also the curious and mysterious wonder of night.

This work has also been recorded by pianist Jai Jeffryes on the album Amythest.
