These three exquisite miniatures ? composed in 2009 and lasting a total of 5 minutes ? are responses to the poetry of George Bruce. In the first Soloist and Piano are fused together as a single instrument as if singing from a great distance. Suckling describes the following movements as ?inside a beam of light? and ?a never-ending lullaby?. Three Venus Haiku exist in versions for a number of different solo instruments with Piano and this edition is intended for either Flute or Violin.
