Specially commissioned by and dedicated to the Roth Duo (Sam Rodwell and Emma Smith) - the piece has become a well loved addition to their touring repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReviews from classical music societies and festivals describe the piece as ‘relaxed, welcoming' with a ‘sense of the familiar' like a 'song without words' due to its lyrical melodies. It has also been described as 'simply stunning' and a 'touching finale to a live performance'. It is a piece that beautifully showcases the technical sensitivity, rapport and expressive control of a performing duo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition treats both guitars as equal conversational partners. The work is built upon simple and expressive melodies that move seamlessly from an intimate, reflective opening dialogue into a rhythmic and animated middle section before returning once more to the first theme. The piece captures the universal, nostalgic warmth of its title.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI wrote \u003cem\u003eHomecoming\u003c\/em\u003e after an unsettled time of life living away from home.
