Standing Stones was written for the international Nuclear Non-Proliferation conference in 2000. Music was seen as a way of breaking down barriers and encouraging closer co-operation. It is a very simple piece, slow and using almost entirely minims in 3/2 to give a feeling of peace. The chords build up from single notes to four parts and the whole becomes very expressive. The ending is suitably tranquil. If you want to make a statement this will certainly give your audience something to thnk about.
