• Programme Note

  This work for mixed ensemble and female voices drew its inspiration from a series of paintings by Ken Robinson which were hung up behind the performers. “Drawing on Spanish texts from Pablo Neruda and St John of the Cross, Eve de Castro-Robinson has produced some wonderfully exotic music. Timbres are perfectly judged, from the vibrant exoticism of alto flute in Edged to the mysterious ceremony of horn and timpani in Black Drop and solo lines have a tremendous sense of tautness and cohesion.” William Dart, Music in NZ
