1977 Music
At night the garden was full of voices
For 4 recorders
About the work
This short piece was commissioned for recorder consort by Price Milburn Music at Steve Rosenberg’s request. Steve was a virtuoso recorder player who was active in the revival of the instrument in Auckland in the 1970s. He published a number of books of recorder music and At night the garden was full of voices was included in the second of these.
I was living in London when I wrote this work and finished it on 1 August.
