A short meditation on concern, inspired by a letter from F. Scott Fitzgerald to his 11 year-old daughter, Scottie. Whilst none of Fitzgerald's text is used, his mixed tone, encompassing both wisdom and playful silliness, is.
Written for Sarah Dacey (soprano) and Clare Hammond (piano), and premiered by them in the Vale of Glamorgan Festival at Penarth Pier Pavilion in May 2014.
