During my first year undergrad at UofT, I wrote this song for Monica set to the text of Robert Frost's poem "Acquainted with the Night". I'm happy to have it finally performed in the UofT Student Composer Concert by Monica Lindsay and Jingren Sun.
Coup de Grâce was premiered on March 14 2023 at the UofT Student Composer Concert by Vincent Poon (violin 1), Satchi Kanashiro (violin 2), Thijs Vorstman (viola), and Maren Helyar (cello). I composed this piece in December 2022, inspired by the excitement I felt from listening to Stravinsky's Basle Concerto.
This is a solo piano piece depicting a scene with light rain, a slightly chilly breeze with the scent of dampness in the air, and the inexplainable feeling of satisfaction of taking in these surroundings late at night. This was premiered at the UofT Student Composer Concert, performed by the pianist Phoebe Enpei Lin.
