Through the Canopy for amplified solo piano attempts to depict the shimmering spots of light that shine through the canopy of a forest. As the wind blows, the spots move, change shape, and dissipate. This work is based upon a sonority that is revealed in full only at the beginning and the end of the work; in the remainder of the piece the sonority is revealed only as moving, changing, and shimmering spots of light.
