Concert Notes

Finola Merivale – The silent sweep as you stand still

I have composed a lot during the pandemic, but this is the first piece I’ve written in 2020 that contemplates the lockdown and the virus. The title refers literally to how it is still sweeping across the world, even though, for the most part, we’re barely moving around or travelling. It also refers to the anxiety that so many are feeling during the lockdown.
