E. McDowell: Moon Dances: Flöte mit Begleitung

Inspired by the intense imagery of Lorca's poetry, The moon Dances evokes contrasting aspects of dance. The first movement gives a festive exuberance to a carnival atmosphere and in the second the moon dances above the shadowsthat engulf the dead. In the last, the girl on the swing arcs across the sky, her dance shimmering beneath the moon. 'Three contrasting dances from the highly respected Ms McDowall, starting with exuberance, jumping quickly intointrospection and ending with the lively Red Star Trembles. Further evidence of the quality of British composers that can be found around every corner' MI Pro
