This work for Piano and String Orchestra received its world premiere performance in Canberra, on the 4th of September 1999 by the Musica da Camera Orchestra with piano soloist Colin Forbes.

This two movement work begins with a pulsating figure for the strings, which moves outwards chromatically, employing interesting chordal structures.

The piano enters with a flourish with eastern sounding soon after, moving through both vigorous and lyrical themes. The mood of the first movement is bright, containing many lyrical melodies, some built on the pentatonic sale, shared between the instruments. The slower middle section of the movement develops the opening chromatic theme and then builds to a gentle climax in a major tonality.

By contrast the second movement begins with a minor theme and explores interesting harmonies and textures and interesting pulsating figures and jazzy rhythms. The central section builds, featuring dramatic piano figures and then recaps some of the melodic figures from the first movement , followed by a solo cadenza by the piano and the final chord resolution of the piece.
