Water miniatures began as sketches during my time at MusicFest Aberystwyth 2023. After receiving big smiles from a small audience in an open workshop by Catrin Finch, I felt it was necessary to progress these sketches further to complete a cyclical collection of miniatures. In mid-April 2024, I was over the moon to be chosen as one of several composers for the PoppyHarp Project Composer Project where I was able to work with harpist Bethan Conway to help make this collection as beautiful and idiomatic as possible, allowing it to sit amongst the growing contemporary classical repertoire for such an ethereal instrument. This is a collection of five miniatures each aiming to depict the journey of water along the River Ystywth towards the Atlantic Ocean and beyond. Â
