Reflections in Watercolour
Music of Sally Greenaway
Reflections in Watercolour (dedicated to Australian artist John Wykes, who passed away unexpectedly at the height of Melbourne's pandemic lockdowns) imagines the prolific brushstrokes of a watercolour painter in his studio, surrounded by artworks stacked against walls, sketches drying pegged on a line, and jars of murky water and various paintbrushes.
The piece follows in the footsteps of Gounod and his Ave Maria fusion with Bach's Prelude in C, by developing and reimagining Gounod's melodies for cellist David Pereira with a perpetual motion guitar accompaniment for Steve Allen.
