Shaking in the Garden
for oboe and viola
About
‘Shaking In The Garden’ is, in the words of the composer, “the memory of a dream. A square lawn on a sloping hill surrounded by tropical forest with towering trees. There is the feeling of rising and falling at the same time. Everything is reaching upward. The insects are loud with their singing. The air is wet and thick but cool.”
