Composed originally for piano solo, this piece is a meditation on the traditional American folk song 'Black is the Color of my True Love's Hair' and was written (after some praeparatory sketches) in the space of a single day in Campania on December 13, 2009. This version for piano four hands was done with the desire to intensify some of the textures, as well as simplify some of the part writing. The piece is dedicated to my wife, Claire.
Instrumentation: Piano four-hands.
