A dreamlike
and evocative work from
Peter Maxwell Davies for
flute and orchestra. The
piece captures the wonder
and sanctuary of the
composer's home,
surrounded by seabirds
and seals that fire the
imagination in childlike
ways, evoking images of
mermaids and angels.
Descriptive and inventive
orchestral colours
support and illuminate
the flute solo material
that is both tranquil and
highly virtuosic. The
piece was first performed
in May 1999 at the Royal
Concert Hall, Dublin.
