This piece has its origins in a visit I made to Tromso in north Norway in the summer of 2005. Walking on the nearby mountain of Bonntuva, I was fascinated by the interplay of sunlight on clouds and mountain-top mist.

Rather than setting a text, I've simply worked with those words to evoke something of the experience for SSAATTBB choir (divided into 8 or 16 parts), using dissonance to create moments of brightness in the context of a sustained sound.
