Sheet Music: ScoreThe Pool and the Star : for chamber orchestra / Lisa Cheney.by Lisa Cheney (2014)
|
Product details
The Pool and the Star is inspired by a poem of the same name by the late Australian poet, Judith Wright. The composer writes, "I have often found Wright's work a stimulus for creative expression, and on this occasion it was the vivid imagery and evocative language in The Pool and the Star that invited my musical response." The work loosely captures the narrative of the poem in which the pool, in love, each night awaits patiently for the rising of a star to bring to life the time and waters from which the pool gathers itself together. Venturing through and between two worlds, the music depicts earth and water on one hand, and on the other, sky and space. Accordingly, the piece is through-composed commencing with a portrayal of calm and tranquillity and progressing through a series of changes of varying intensity, returning in the closing bars to a mood akin to that of the opening.
