LYRICS

Night Of Spring

Slow, horses, slow,
As through the wood we go –
We would count the stars in heaven,
Hear the grasses grow:
Watch the cloudlets few
Dappling the deep blue.
In our open palms outspread
Catch the blessed dew.
Thomas Westwood
Slow, horses, slow,
As through the wood we go –
All the beauty of the night
We would learn and know!



Night of Spring - Choral Work

White stars falling gently,
Softly down to Earth,
Red fires burning brightly
In the warm and cosy hearth.

White trees change to elfin-land,
By red sun’s dazzling glow,
Little robin redbreasts
Hopping in the snow.

Happy children’s voices,
Shouting loud with glee,
Oh! the joys of winter
Are wonderful to me.


Winter Joys

An orchestral piece that reflects Dreams (mostly mine). I'll let you decide if you feel like you're flying in the opening =p Please ignore the 'gunshots'... although they may add to the piece, they aren't suppose to be there. My sibelius 7 is horrific... This was composed as part of my final year portfolio. I hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed composing it. 

Träume

A Brass Quintet that focuses on the opposition of movement and stillness.
