This audio fragment from Metamorphosis comes from the middle of the piece. Please write to me if you’d like the full music.

With the initial musical material of Metamorphosis ‘cocooned’ in the accordion, the rest of the ensemble displays the metamorphic change from effectively being a caterpillar and crawling and knowing one’s feet to the final release of being a butterfly and learning to fly and migrate. This sample recounts the transformation of stretching one’s wings.
