Memories of Things Unseen and Seen

Wishart, Betty

About the work

The haunting melodic strains of ‘Memories..’ are shared equally by each instrument. The first section (Unseen) evokes the human experience we do not often recognize in others; the second section (Seen) explores experience we actually may observe others going through every day.

First Performance: 1996, Talloires, France

Technical notes

Slow moving music, with occasional more rapid flourishes. No difficult extremes of register or technique.
