for percussion quartet
The Other Side of the River is a quiet, reflective piece and was written as part of a theatre work called ‘See You Later’ by Theatre Cryptic (for whom I also wrote The Paper Nautilus). This title is taken from a line by the late Eduardo Galeano: ‘History never really says goodbye. History says, “See you later”.’ The theatre work includes percussion pieces by composers Peter Garland and David T. Little and mine forms a meditative and philosophical epilogue to the whole piece.
