"Thank you both SO much for the wonderful energy behind this creation. I loved the whole thing, and the music and the images made a strong impression on me. I had to read quick and will watch and listen to it again and read more of the information. The sea is such a powerful metaphor with the breathed phrases, and not just pretty sea pictures, I know the double edged imagery is tinged also with grief and sadness. Interestingly I don’t hear anger. The gorgeous happy faces of the children and the women dancing is also an abiding memory.
Thank you both for the artistic friendship and collaboration across the sea.Also, going off to practise my B Major scales now..."
