Summer Beckons
Duo: violin, piano
… In Summer the walls are covered
With blossoms
And tendrils reaching…
--- Martina Hoffman
Summer Beckons captures the beauty of the leafy growth in a walled garden, in response to a stanza from Martina Hoffman's poem 'My Love is a House'. Colleague Thea Zimple commissioned fellow Australian composers, including Sally Greenaway, to create a song cycle for Hoffman's poem. The pieces were then premiered as a set, with poetry and music interwoven with narrator and chamber music ensembles.
Greenaway's music slowly expands, with a vivid wonderment as musical vine tendrils twirl, seeking their next grip hold as they face their leaves towards the warmth of the sun: the beauty and bounty of Summer growth!
