for SSA, piano, and violin
When Breezes Blow is an upbeat, optimistic expression of curiosity and growth. With lyrics by the composer, the work features a supportive piano part and a characterful violin part, with unison, two-, and three-part vocal textures and intuitive harmonies that enhance the storytelling. The three movements each focus on a different theme: the playful 'On We Go' centres around fostering connection, friendship, and love; 'Into the Garden' uses vocables rather than lyrics to capture the feeling of humming while planting in the garden; and 'Flower of my Heart' depicts the taking of gentle steps into the wider world, with a dance-like feel created by dotted rhythms and a 6/8 time signature.
A violin part is available on sale.
