Gaia Mother Earth wind sextet (fl/ob/cl/hn/bcl/bn). Duration: 4' 30'' Written in 2021 and aimed at confident ensembles 
 
(c. grades 6+) due to some time signatures flighty passages, fragmented rhythms and occasional extended techniques (e.g flutter tonguing on flute).
 
Commissioned by the University of St Andrews in response to Katerina Evangelou's Gaia – Mother Earth from the Art of Energy Gallery, and premiered by the St Andrews Scholarship Wind Quintet, with associate teacher Alex South.
 
A note from the composer:"I was struck by the evocatively vivid colours and bold shapes in Evangelou’s artworks, each of which represents a different source of renewable energy: wave, geothermal, solar, and tidal.
 
As with Evangelou’s work, this piece focuses on the idea of renewable energy as humanity’s “regenesis” and a cause for hope, though the precarious nature of our situation is hinted at in the final chord".
