Composed by Rhian Samuel. String music. Score. Stainer & Bell Ltd. #Y228. Published by Stainer & Bell Ltd. (ST.Y228).ISBN 9790220221712.
Shards of Light is dedicated to Gyorgy Pauk, and is of Grade 8 to diploma standard. The contrast between its atmospheric main idea of fleet, ethereal figurations high on the E-string and more spiky and aggressive material suggests the image of its title, in music contemporary in sound yet accessible in feeling.
Like other instrumental works by Rhian Samuel, Shards of Light combines exciting instrumental virtuosity with a strongly poetic impulse, and is a most effective addition to the repertoire of new violin music, whether as an examination test-piece or as recital material.
