‘I caught this morning morning's minion, king- dom of daylight's dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon, in his riding Of the rolling level underneath him steady air, and striding High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing In his ecstasy!’[From ‘The Windhover. To Christ our Lord’ by Gerard Manley Hopkins.Commissioned by Siemens-Nixdorf Feis Ceoil, Dublin, as a test piece for the European Union of Music Competitions for Youth (Junior Competition), 1996.
