Programme Notes

Moving Trees was written to accompany a movement of a dance film by Anne Teresa de Keersmaker entitled Counter-Phrases. The film showed three beautiful girls moving amongst trees and leaves with the summer sunlight casting ever-changing shadow-shapes on their bodies as they seemed to become one with the natural world. The trees' verticality is literally mirrored by a 'tall' pedal note in octaves, held through much of the score. Jonathan Harvey
