Abstract
By the light of the moon is the first in a series of short works for toy piano, piano and electronics that draw upon the poetry of Edward Lear. In this work, I start with the third verse of Lear’s famed poem, The Owl and the Pussy-cat, in which the couple dance ‘By the light of the moon’. Throughout the work, electronics are used to create an imaginary nocturnal soundscape in which Owl and Pussy-cat dance to the tune of the toy piano, with the piano providing moonlight.
