Somerset Scenes (2004)
Somerset Scenes is a nostalgic suite based upon childhood memories
of the countryside around Nether Stowey and Stogursey. The three
poems that frame this composition are purely descriptive and convey
the influence of landscape upon the emotions. In contrast, two dance
movements represent the more spiritual aspects of nature; acknowledging
the ever-presence of all living creatures and the earth itself which
supports us. The clock chimes of St. Andrew's church in Stogursey
are used at the end of Poem III, concluding the suite with a sense
of tangible reality that is only hinted at in other movements.
