I think of this collection of songs as my commissioning series, with each piece marking time since the beginnings of life for my daughter Liv, who is now thirteen. I chose the title Harbour because I think of it as a place of shelter on the water, a respite before the new migrations that await on land. This ensemble of family and friends represents that feeling to me, as we all came out of so much turbulence to land together in a room, where my music could take flight.
