A Moment in Time

Description

• Composer: James Curnow
• Publisher: Curnow Music

Based on the poetry of Henry David Thoreau and Japanese poet Matsuo Basho, this three-movement symphonic poem for winds is an open window through which the listener can look into the thoughts of two poets - continents and centuries apart - whose common central belief was in oneness with nature as a way of life. The layering of both Eastern and Western musical elements throughout creates an amazing and unique effect.
