Judith Bailey

Aquamarine Waltz

This work was commissioned by Isabel Young in May 1999 and written in June of that year. She had commissioned a piece for 'cello and piano for her 75th birthday.
The composer's first thoughts were to relate the title to her Cornish home, but she did not feel 'The Haven' to be an appropriate name for a piece! However, because of its happy associations and spectacular sea view, the word 'aquamarine' seemed an apt description of what turned into a light-hearted waltz.
Duration 5 minutes
