I wrote this piece for my three children. Watching them fall asleep is still a very special time (even as they get older) and I wanted to convey gentleness and a gradual slip into slumber with this music.

Technically, the piece makes use of a synthetic pentatonic scale and it’s “modes.” It’s essentially in three parts, with the third part “stretching out” the basic material from the first section in augmentation.
