Samuel, Rhian - Silver Threads. Harpsichord

With Copper Ribbons, Silver Threads is one of a pair of virtuoso harpsichord pieces by Rhian Samuel, and the two may be programmed together or performed as separate recital items. The music of Silver Threads is the restless pursuit of a single idea through fleet textures, dividing an unbroken line of melody between the hands and manuals throughout the register of the instrument.
