These six
short pieces might more
readily be described as
fantasies, each with its
own sound-world but
linked by shared
material. The mood of
each of these short
movements is guided by an
imaginary landscape, one
shadowed by the blackened
tree, a far-away song,
shadows past, a
quickening moon,
forgotten voices, and by
the harrowed land. The
title of the last
movement plays on the
word harrow, something
that is used to break up
the soil, but also
bringing with it
suggestions of a land
both pained and
wounded.
