For my second collaboration, 4 Seasons, I wanted to create a work around our New England seasons; an ever changing kaleidoscope. I composed the music first for this project. As an instrument of both beautiful delicacy and great power, I selected the harp. Also I was excited at the prospect of having gifted harpist Rachel Clemente perform the piece.  

I selected paintings which expressed aspects of each season, and interwove them with the scenes and sounds of the natural world. Scoring these to the harp music, I hoped to bring to life the magic of our life in New Hampshire’s forests and fields.
