About the work

Written for CoMA London Ensemble and CoMA Voices and allcomers. Based on the poem by Edmund Spenser, Prothalamion 1596:

Aftsoones the Nymphs, which now had Flowers their fill,

Ran all in haste to see that sliver brood,

As they came floating on the Cristal Flood.

First Performance: Spitalfields Festival, 16 June 2001
