Three Meditations, Op. 52 (Crossland)

Movements

i Mystical Dreams, ii Reverie, iii Lyrical Journey

Notes

These Three Meditations invite both performer and listener into an introspective sound world. Each piece explores a different facet of contemplation — from the atmospheric Mystical Dreams to the tender Reverie and the flowing lyricism of Lyrical Journey. Their harmonic richness and quiet intensity create a reflective arc that feels almost like a personal narrative. I find them deeply satisfying to play, as they draw the listener inward rather than outward, offering a space for calm reflection amid the programme’s contrasts.
