A beautiful work to both play and narrate. I was overjoyed to perform this work around Upstate NY in the Finger Lakes as part of a Stories and Music scheme in local libraries. The interplay of the music with the narration was great fun to play with, and the integration of the issues of climate change with the original Welsh myth are heartfelt. This can be performed with or without narration and with a separate narrator if desired, but I personally enjoyed integrating the text into each movement while I played.
Beautiful work!

It was through this beautiful suite of music that I got to learn more about Eira Lynn Jones herself. Her drive for the perfection of the clarity of sound and the quality of tone is one of Eira’s hallmarks. At first glance this music may appear to be a simple score, but like any great minimalist music, do not underestimate these simple forms as the story evoked by the music is beguiling.
