Bells and Grass

Bells and Grass portrays five intimate scenes, in which small things come into focus and the world recedes: a nightingale”s song echoing from a nearby wall, the bright sun and the waves of the ocean, the moon lighting up a stream with its silvery halo, the flames burning over coals in a fireplace as twilight descends, and the varied and musical sounds of rainfall. The pairing of voice with oboe provides this little cycle with a uniquely colorful charm and immediacy.
