This celebration of friendship is rich in expressive melodies and poignant harmonies, underpinned by sensitive piano writing. The text, by Delphine Chalmers, is inspired by French Renaissance essayist Michel de Montaigne's writings on friendship, from which the well known quotation 'If I am pressed to say why Iloved him, I feel it can only be explained by replying: 'Because it was he; because it was me.' originates.
Eminently accessible, this piece is perfect for concert programmes celebrating friendship and community.
