You may like to treat yourself to a quick look at this, from the Waveney and Blyth Arts website:<\/p>\n
“This is Waveney & Blyth Arts first commission to create new work that conjures up the spirit of these unique river valleys.<\/p>\n
Having successfully raised money from the National Lottery through Arts Council England, we commissioned composer and clarinettist Karen Wimhurst to write the music for a new choral work inspired by the Waveney & Blyth.<\/p>\n
We also commissioned Diss born and bred poet Joanna Guthrie to write the words, and singer and choir leader Sian Croose to be musical director.<\/p>\n
In this video feature Joanna Guthrie reads her poem about reeds, which was one of her starting points for the ten poems that have become the libretto for Translated by Reeds.<\/p>\n
We also meet Nicky, Karen and Sian who talk about the process of creating a totally new piece of music, to be performed by a totally new Waveney & Blyth community choir, to celebrate this ancient Waveney & Blyth landscape.” – Waveney and Blyth Arts Magazine.<\/em><\/p>\n
