Judith Weir's major orchestral works. including Natural History, Forest and The Welcome Arrival of Rain
Weir’s music - often inspired by her love of nature and her interest in the world around her - is fresh, intelligent, approachable and evocative. Natural History - which she describes as a Taoist Carnival of the Animals-is set to ancient Chinese texts on horses, birds, fish and men and the music hints at an oriental and exotic world and in Moon and Star Weir uses the instruments highest and lowest registers to portray the vast expanse of our universe. |
