Description:
Program note (English): In Gardener of the Stream the orchestra is divided into several small groups of instruments. Each group is assigned its own musical fragment, in the form of a recognizable rhythmic, harmonic or melodic pattern. These patterns are very short, abrupt and almost childlike in their simplicity. They are slowly repeated at proportionally-changing time intervals throughout the piece, and only after hearing them again and again does the listener begin to sense them as longer lines, or continuous streams of sound. Each of the instrumental groups has a unique color and special role to play within the piece, and although all the groups seem to be in conflict with each other, it eventually becomes clear that most of the fragments come from the same well-known children's song (Row, row, row your boat). Rather than appearing disjointed and separate, they flow together like watercolor paints. The piece, has the dual nature of a dream: the listener gradually enters into and emerges from a
distant world of strange sounds and childlike patterns; at the same time there is a simple and direct story being told. But which instrument is the storyteller, or 'gardener'? - VANESSA LANN
