About

This work was written as a gift for my mother's 90th birthday. She wrote the words. A version of it was sung for my mother on her birthday, in March 2014, by my niece Amy Bendall. In September 2014 I revised it and replaced the trumpet part with the oboe, because in a certain sense, the trumpet part represented my dad, and he was more 'oboey'.
