Imaginary Garden, a sonic gardens of discovery, growth,
imagination and recollection, is a series of short chamber pieces written for unusual instrumental combinations, with the intention of exploring musical gestures with motion, images, and emotion. Each work is inspired by e.e. cummings’ poem, somewhere I have never traveled, gladly beyond.
The work is written for harpist Gianetta Baril and saxophone virtuoso Jeremy Brown, members of the Rubbing Stone Ensemble
in Calgary. „…in your most fragile gesture are things
which enclose me… you open always petal by petal myself as Spring opens her first rose…“
