Springburst (2007) for piano trio is dedicated to composer Gwyneth Walker on her 60^th birthday. It was composed for “Gwyneth Walker: A Celebration of the Music Makers”, a birthday music festival at Chandler Hall, Braintree, Vermont in October 2007, where it was performed by Trio Tulsa. The work is a brief and vibrant work with distinctly “American” characteristics. The music reflects Walker’s energetic personal and musical personality.
