Peter Wiegold The flowers appear on the earth (BBC Commission: first performance)
The flowers appear on the earth,
The time of the singing of birds is come.
I chanced on this quotation from the Song of Solomon when I had already begun work on this piece for flute, clarinet, violin, cello, harp. Percussion and guitar. It seemed to sum up my ideas perfectly, both about what the piece was to express and about how it was to be made.'
