About the work

Based on the painting by Dora Carrington “The Farm at Wadentlath” Dora Carrington’s recent marriage is doomed when on a farm holiday she meets one of her new husband’s friends. A wedding march fragment on the oboe gives way to dolorous strings mimicking a church organ that echoes around the overpowering hills surrounding the farm – and imprisoning a helpless Dora in her own passions.
