Work introduction
In three movements, this work is based on a trio for two flutes and harp that was commissioned by the Junior Conservatoire of the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
The original inspiration of the composition was on three paintings by the contemporary British painter, Shaun Hughes. In addition to this, each of the pieces is a tradition type of dance or poem, with the final movement being based on the virelai Polorum Regina ("Queen of the Poles") from the Llibre Vermell de Montserrat (“Red Book of Montserrat”) of Catalonia.
