I wanted to write a piece exploiting the sonority of the baritone ukulele and around the feelings of peace and stillness. As the piece started to come together in my head, a childhood memory returned; part of a family trip to Norway in the winter. One evening we skied through a snow-covered wood to a friend's lodge by a frozen lake. This poem says the rest:

Skiing through the Norwegian forest at night.
Trees loom over the narrow pathway,
Branches burdened; heavy luminous moonlit snow.
Beyond the swish of the skis and people’s icy breath,
Is an immense engulfing stillness;
High trees, hidden forest, snow stifled sound.
White path winding to the frozen lake with ...
Stillness, stillness, stillness.

—Martin Bright
