Danish Reasons For French Misbehaviour

Up Over

We as lovers can be like trees. Carefully watching over each other, finding our way towards one another. But will you stay? A question without answer. 

'Wide Open' is based on Liszt Consolations III. 
May it console you.

Danish Reasons For French Misbehaviour (piano Edit)

from the social distancing, April 2020 [home recording]

'Two years ago I wrote some cello music to accompany a reading by the poet Ian Duhig. He was interested in the Satie's Sonneries de la Rose+Croix and so my music was based on that. But what I wrote in 2018 was never quite right; in March 2020 I revised the music and now Dan Weinstein has made this beautiful recording of it.' Christopher Fox

What is the Number of the Rose? | Ian Duhig

More than oceans’ grains of sand
but not of fingers on one hand;
more than stars that drill the sky
but not the pupils of one eye;
more than all of England’s dead
but not of tongues within one head;
a number more than words can tell
but not the clapper of one bell;
more airs than all composers wrote
but fewer than one single note
and more and fewer than all these
but not in Satie’s sonneries.
