Sonatine de Giverny for Piccolo and Piano

"Les fleurs ravissantes depicts the brilliant ravishing flowers in the upper garden near Monet’s house, with bright poppies and other plants interrupted by countless colorful butterflies and tiny flowers creating a ripply visual texture which certainly influenced Monet’s work.  Les jardins d’eaux reflects the profound calm at the lower water garden which Monet created, with the famous Japanese footbridges, weeping willows, and water lilies.  The photos on the cover of the publication were taken by me in 1999, but they appear timeless.  En ville leaves Monet’s estate to capture the bubbling charm of the rural towns of Giverny and Vernon." -- program notes by composer.
