"My dear friend Meredith Crawford (and Salastina’s Resident Artist) commissioned me to write for her harp trio's 2014 performances on the East Coast. I composed two movements for the occasion. Ten years later, when Maia encouraged me to record it under Salastina’s banner, I realized it needed a third movement. (I never claimed to be a fast writer.)
Special thanks to Ben, Meredith, and Cristina for their outstanding artistry, Louis Ng for his stellar recording, and Maia and the Salastina family for making it happen. I’m honored to have such a beautiful record of this piece." - Philip White
