The set of five short pieces called Shifting States was commissioned by NZTrio back in 2005. It’s inspired by an interest of the composer’s in mid-20th century glass-making, and the various changes of state – freezing, melting, vaporization, condensation, and sublimation – essential to the production of glass.
Sabbia ("Sand") is the first movement.
