your music and just wanted to congratulate you".

of Women Artists and Art Friends)
Undulations
- First Movement
The title of this work comes from the wave like motion of
the themes. It reflects the composer's love of the water
and particularly the Australian beaches. The first movement
is a Theme and Variations on an Adagio theme beginning in
D minor tonality and ending in E Dorian tonality.
Undulations
- Second Movement
The second movement is more animated, making use of syncopated
ostinati figures, superimposed with floating melodies. To
unify the work, the second movement finishes with a varied
repeat of the E Dorian section from the first movement.
