The text of this work is by the late-Victorian poet T. E. Brown from the Isle of Man, and refers to the magic of a garden, both in terms of nature and in terms of the divine. His writing incorporates rhythms and expressions from Anglo-Manx, the dialect spoken on the Isle of Man which incorporates some Manx Gaelic. The composer harnesses this energy beautifully, musically painting the pulses of the garden and using contrasting tonalities for the theological/philosophical phrases which follow the visual descriptions. Duration: 1:50.
