Written as an adaptation of my piece Vignette from the Sparkle in your Eyes for vibraphone and piano, As Reflections Shimmer With Comfort serves as a vessel for capturing the feelings of love and passion I have now for the people around me.

"The object of reflection is invariably the discovery of something satisfying to the mind which was not there at the beginning of the search." - Ernest Dimnet

 When writing music, I try not to get too caught up in what exactly the piece is about. That being said, writing this piece I knew I wanted to capture the idea of reflection. Not literally but in a more abstract sense. As I go about my life I find that we tend to feel stronger emotions when we experience more. This idea that when you have hardships, the joyful things become that much more meaningful. As Dimnet states, you find satisfying discoveries as you reflect. Things that weren’t there in the beginning.
