About the Ash Lad is inspired by a Dano-Norwegian folktale collection by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe that was published in 1859. It is said that Henrik Ibsen, author of the original Peer Gynt drama, was inspired by this collection of folk tales of which the story “About Ash Lad , Who Stole the Troll’s Silver Ducks, Coverlet, and Golden Harp” (some other titles it is known by include “Boots and the Troll”), is a part of. In this piece, the unfolding of the story in the form of a suite is also inspired by the famous Grieg setting of Peer Gynt, as we follow the hero along his journey, through perils and triumphs. There are a total of nine small movements, all connected by a dance-like ‘Passage’ theme, that parallel the Ash Lad’s story as he ‘borrows’ three items from a Troll in order to win the local princesses hand in marriage and a decent half of the kingdom on top of that. It was an absolute joy to compose this work for the thoroughly amazing Inventi Ensemble, and I thank them for the opportunity to transport myself creatively into a world of fantasy and imagine my own sounds within this old Dano-Norwegian realm.

When I began writing this piece my grandpa had been in and out of hospitals and care facilities for some time. We had just started undertaking the process of moving him out of his home in Manly and closer to my parents in Toowoomba. It got me thinking about all the memories I have with my grandpa – John is one of the funniest and wittiest men I have ever encountered.
Despite his struggle with Parkinson’s he remains cheeky, sweet and brilliantly sharp. This work mixes memories from throughout the years and how his influence has shaped a huge part of my attitude and personality today. There are moments of bittersweet (as in any story of change) but overall the music aims to capture the times of joy, laughs and love.
John passed away peacefully surrounded by family on the 16th January 2019. This piece serves as a celebration of his full and happy life.
