This is a lovely piece about the creative process - not simply of the composer but of the radio maker himself. By carefully blending the voices, the music and, most strikingly, the intervention of nature, a kind of poetry emerges which elevates this work above the ususal arts & culture radio item. I wanted to hear more but the length is part of its beauty. Often the haiku can touch us more deeply than the epic poem.
