Programme Notes

Eeyore is tediously, comedically, joyfully sad. So resolute in sadness that it becomes a different thing. The horn, usually a coiled heroic tube billowing gold here brays wobbled sad songs, whuffles one note laments with tiny shimmering blemishes - emoting within a very limited band of notes. Saying as much as donkey can. A duet between donkey and a piano. Triumphantly sad.
