Martin Gaskell is an astronomer and composer.
Night has a special significance for astronomers.
While most of the world sleeps, nighttime for the astronomer is a time of wonder, discovery, and exhilaration as the universe reveals its secrets. An astronomer is very at home in the night for, as the 19th century English poetess Sarah Williams (“Sadie”) wrote in her famous poem The Old Astronomer, we “have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night”.

When the composer was getting to know his wife, they took many evening walks in the redwood forests of California. Sometimes it was totally dark by the time their walks were over. Overhead the stars blazed in the dark, moonless sky. If you want to understand what was in Gaskell's mind when composing the Song of the Night, imagine a couple enjoying each other’s company as they contemplate the beauty of nature at night and their place in the universe. As they slowly and steadily stroll through the dark forest, different vistas of the sky open up revealing the grandeur and drama of the universe.

Fittingly, the first public performances of the string orchestra version of Song of the Night were by a chamber orchestra in a planetarium.
This guitar version, arranged by David Warin Solomons, has been excellently performed by the American guitarist Katie Kerwin.
