Atlantic Canadian composer Sandy Moore's three Nocturnes, written in 1974 while awaiting the birth of his first child, echo the Flower Moon (May), Strawberry Moon (June), and Sturgeon or Berry Ripening Moon (August). Although inherently classical in style, the pieces have the temperament of shifting thematic and variation statements, underscored by murmurs of calm and agitation.
Featured in this program is Nocturne 3 is like a dream-listlessly lyrical at first, then surges of splendour and lurking uncertainty, always settling back to the calmer dreamy state, and simply ending. Performed by Jennifer King and filmed a music video at Birch Cove, Blue Mountain Wilderness Area and Lucky Penny Cafe, HRM, Nova Scotia.
