Written to sit alongside ‘Midnight Closes’, my song cycle for soprano and piano, these three short pieces take inspiration from the Thomas Hardy poems set. Small fragments from the songs were used as starting points in the composition of each piece.

I    ‘A minute more…’
II   Indecision
III  ‘… do I dare?’
