about
Written for Anna Levy and Jane Hayes, founders of the Yarilo Contemporary Music Society, in memory of Nikolai Korndorf on the fifth anniversary of his death. Revised in the summer of 2022, when he would have turned 75, coinciding with the release of the Yarilo Contemporary Music Society’s The Smile of Maud Lewis.
Program note:
Half-light is the soft, subdued light seen at dusk or at dawn.
When I wrote this music, I was in a sad state, thinking that Nikolai’s music and memory were gradually fading. In my mind, this picture portrayed the light at dusk, gradually fading. But with the release of The Smile of Maud Lewis, – a CD full of music by Nikolai Korndorf, and my piece in memory of him, I believe his music and memory are being reborn in a new dawn.

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last!
