'Many-Coloured Glass' was written in 2007 for the toy piano performer Phyllis Chen. It can be performed on toy piano, or similar instrument, with optional drone and/or pre-recorded backing track. The title is from the poem 'Adonaïs' by Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792 – 1822):
"Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass,
Stains the white radiance of Eternity,
Until Death tramples it to fragments."
