PROGRAM NOTE

​

Eucalyptus is a piano solo consisting of four interrelated miniatures, each one branching out from a shared musical core. Inspired by the appearance of a eucalyptus branch— with pairs of leaves growing upwards along a stem— I sought to create a musical structure that feels both evolving and self-referential. This work reflects on the vibrancy and fragility of growth.

 

Deiopea was commissioned by Timothy Hanley.
