Night, herself

Night, Herself (2017) – Night, herself takes as its starting point some of the melodies
and harmonic progressions found in Purcell’s See, even night herself is here.
The calm, mysterious, and nocturnal qualities of Purcell’s song are evident at the start of my piece,
which begins with a slow, deliberate chaconne (repeating bassline.)
As it progresses, more voices are added and the music becomes faster and more energetic.
At the close of the piece, the starting chaconne returns.
