When I find myself in an unfamiliar town or city I love exploring. One
particular experience I always enjoy is finding a quiet space within the
hustle and bustle of a noisy city. Churches and other sacred spaces often
provide a welcome still point, a quiet oasis, and Fragments 2 is a short
musing on the juxtaposition of the hubbub of city life and the calm that
can be found within the tumult.
In the piece, silences are equally as important as the written notes, and
the performer is left to judge - depending on the size of the performing
space and inherent reverberation - how long to pause before commencing
the next section of notes.
