Lovely things

    A miscellany for you:

    - Cornflower reader Deborah Vass has a website for her paintings and prints up and running. There are some beautiful things there, so do take a look.

    - Yesterday's post mentioned Dunwich which is adjacent to the RSPB's reserve at Minsmere. I'm no birdwatcher, but if I were to be in the area on Saturday I'd go and see jewellery designer Alex Monroe talk about his RSPB collection and the background to his designs. I read Alex's fascinating memoir Two Turtle Doves a couple of years ago and there's a post on it here.

    -  Still on the creative process, composer John Rutter talks so engagingly about the genesis of his new work Visions* in this short video which is lovely on so many levels; watch, listen, and enjoy.

 

*To be released later this week.

I have played Rutter's Suite Antique which was written in 1979. In his own words "The Suite is written for flute, harpsichord and strings with six movements ranging from a Bach-like aria to a jazz-influenced waltz. Rutter’s own style comes forth most strongly in the final Rondeau with its characteristically forward-driving rhythms and melodic lines."

Thanks, D.P., I didn't know the piece but I've just listened and enjoyed it.
