This piece was written to thank Dr. Elaina Burns for premiering three of my pieces, but eventually came to include my fantastic classmates/colleagues Laura Bee and Stephanie Cooper for their heart-stopping premier of my Fantasia on Slane. If the title hasn’t given it away, each of the three movements is a different “picture” of an element of nighttime. The first movement is a picture of the moon, the middle movement is a picture of a midnight spring wind, and the last movement a picture of the stars, both from a distance and up close.
