The composer writes: 'While composing Joy in a Minor Key I attempted to achieve a fleeting, light, poetic, almost never touching the ground quality. The piece is written in my favourite form of rondo waltz with a coda'. The composition was commissioned by an Australian patroness for the 50th birthday of her husband, who had recently recovered from serious illness. On first hearing the atmospherically ambivalent sounds, she then felt more reminded of her mother, a great lover of music, to whose memory Joy in a Minor Key was finally dedicated.

John Ivor Holland #849531. Published by John Ivor Holland (A0.1256064). 'Watermark' is the title track from the second studio album by Irish singer, songwriter and musician Enya, released on 19 September 1988, recorded in ten months with her long-time collaborators, manager, producer and arranger Nicky Ryan and his wife, lyricist Roma Ryan.
