François Couperin is one of my favourite composers. His harpsichord ordres and chamber music seem to contain the full range of human emotion, but always conveyed with a degree of detail and lightness of touch to which I aspire. My Three Dance Scenes take their inspiration from Couperin, drawing on three of his pieces for material and textures to be transformed in a variety of ways.
