Still Life by Genevieve Davidson<\/h3>\n

A grey velveteen sky.<\/p>\n

This is where we met, chestnuts on the green picnic bench.<\/p>\n

In Autumn, the air clasped sharply beneath the bone branches of the silver birch.
\nWe watch the old smooth sliding banks of the stone river reflect the lowering night.<\/p>\n

In Spring, all shaded in dark greens, I love you through the beech tree sepia, beneath the deep kelp water sunlight.<\/p>\n

The inner paintings within the movements of life.
\nWe rest together, you and I.
\nA still life in our frame.<\/p>\n

Note from the composer<\/h3>\n

There are two options for harp parts; the performer can choose which version suits them more. The harp parts differ only between rehearsal marks D-F.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Michelle Velvin’s Still Life<\/em> is for lever or pedal harp and saxophone. Inspired by Genevieve Davidson’s eponymous poem (scroll down to read), the piece evokes cloud banks at the front of a storm and the image of looking upwards from under the sea at the dappled light refracting on the surface of the water.
