by Joseph Howard
Building a House was commissioned by Listenpony, and first performed at Listenpony #19, October 2019, by Joseph Havlat.
Joseph writes of the piece:
The celesta for me is a dream-like instrument so I wanted to write a dream-like piece. It’s kind of floaty like a house of ‘pure imagination’.
