Entrance
for piano solo
by Rosemary Duxbury
Thank you for letting me hear your beautiful and pure piano prelude
(re: piano prelude no.3 Entrance) Jonathan Harvey, composer
“'Entrance' is such a beautiful piece - at times calm, then dynamic, secretive, expectant, uplifting. It's so descriptive - emotional and spiritual. It's wonderful.”
Annette Horn, photographer

Also titled Prelude no.3, it can be played alone or as part of a set of preludes and which is how it was presented for its premiere.
“Entrance” inspires visual imagery and has been used in film and theatre. The British photographer Annette Horn used “Entrance” to make a photographic film called ‘Heartsong’ which was presented in Nuremberg in 2009.
Swiss photographer and director Benoit Renevey chose “Entrance” for his photographic film 'Au fil de l'eau' which was presented at the Centre Pro Natura de Champ-Pittet, on the edge of the Neuchatel Lake, Switzerland.
Theatre director Roelof Overmeer has used it in his work in Lausanne, Switzerland.
More recently (October 2011) it was performed by Patricia Siffert at the renowned Reitstadl Kulturhaus in Neumarkt Germany, and presented with photographic image by Annette Horn and with ballet interpretation by German dancer Oliver Essigmann.
“These imaginative pieces entitled Awakenings, On Wings of Light, and Entrance were being played together for the first time. They bear a strong family resemblance with characteristically shifting harmonies and hypnotic ostinatos. Debussy, Liszt and just occasionally Brahms were called to mind, yet there is an individual and appealing voice in this evocative music. Each prelude is a substantial work quite capable of standing alone. Patricia Siffert to whom the preludes are dedicated gave a sensitive and understanding performance.”
