First Light is a fresh addition to solo piano repertoire that draws inspiration equally from Romantic music, such as Chopin, and contemporary composers such as the American pianists Lyle Mays, Keith Jarrett and Herbie Hancock. The work is driven primarily by modal writing and jazz-styled voicings, while following a Western classical trajectory of development and exploration of the opening melodies.
