Short description: Epilogue (2021) was written as a quiet closing gesture for a concert ending with Brahms’s Piano Trio No. 1.

Post tenebras lux is a very beautiful piece, with one of the most beautiful and peaceful endings I know. Listen for how the piano’s lovely rising chords, together with the very slow rhythm, lead us into a state of calm and healing.'
Alexander Baillie, cellist
