This program moves through the natural world in widening circles, from the tended and cultivated to the untamed and elemental. Ross Edwards, a composer who has spent his career listening to the insects, birdsong, and open spaces of the Australian bush, opens with Ecstatic Dance, a work whose hypnotic, chattering interplay grew directly out of his fascination with the natural soundscape. Praetorius's Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming brings us into the garden proper, its Renaissance harmonies unfolding like a single blossom opening in close-up. Gabriella Smith's Carrot Revolution takes its title from a half-remembered, misattributed quote about a freshly observed vegetable sparking a revolution in perception, and the piece itself, restless and full of unexpected textures, asks the listener to hear old forms (the string quartet, folk tunes, chant) with new ears, the way a walk through a garden can suddenly make the familiar strange again. Mozart's "Spring" Quartet closes the program with an outright sense of blossoming, its light, songful themes and effortless invention capturing the natural world at its most exuberant and open. Across the program, the "garden" gradually gives way to the "wild," tended beauty opening out into something freer, stranger, and closer to nature untouched.
