SKIN

This "avant-pop" piece by Jacob Ter Veldhuis for soprano sax and soundtrack is based on the following excerpt from William Blake’s 1794 poem:

The Garden of Love

I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen;
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.

And the gates of this Chapel were shut,
And ‘Thou shalt not’ writ over the door;
So I turned to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.

And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires.


Garden of Love (by Jacob TV) live performance

Here's a short clip of the piece Brian and I are playing tomorrow night at the Boston Percussion Group concert Plays Well with Others. Come out and hear the rest along with several other great works!
