for five harps, double bass and percussion - Duration: ca. 4' 30"

Adagietto Antique was composed in 2007 for the atypical Parisian group Naccara. The title and melodic material of this piece are inspired by early twentieth century French music; at the time of writing Adagietto Antique I was rehearsing/performing the String Quartet in F Major of Maurice Ravel. The ambiance of this movement is somewhat dark and introspective, and grew out of the second movement of my work, Terrestrial Mirror for Flute, Viola & Harp.
