| Synopsis | Here are the composer's notes for this piece: Sweet chapter
The shutters are opening. One can see through one’s ears, and picture the fresh light of the awakening garden. The harmony and rhythm diversity swathe nature’s wake in the peacefulness and sweetness of a good morning. Tits, black birds and finches mingle and tune their chants with the many pastel nuances of the sleepy meadow, revealed as the sun rises low. Damp with the morning dew, hidden and protected by buddleia, the peacock butterfly, Old World swallowtail and painted lady dry their wings and enchant our senses and our well-being.
Dancing chapter
The rising light suddenly dazzles us and lets us hear a polyphonic humming, baffling our ears. The work day has started for our foraging friends. The flower’s waltz elate the bee with its nectar.
The emotion we feel is one of deep respect for these workers.
Games and end-of-day chapter
In the joy of this explosion of life, our senses mingle in an invigorating and perfumed cocktail.
The invitation to rest offers the opportunity to let go and commune fully with this nature that we must save. |
