Arise! arise! you slumbering sleepers for piano quartet, was written for the Schubert Ensemble’s Chamber Music 2000 project in 1999. It is based on an English/American folksong called 'Arise! arise! you slumbering sleepers', which is heard in fragments against a bell-like ostinato. I have dedicated the piece to Margaret Semple, who taught me music, in the most inspiring way, when I was at school.
