about

The title for this collection of pieces comes from Shakespeare, referring to the woods where the wild flowers grow - those enchanted spaces, secret, unplanted, untended, transcending time and place. Today, we can extend these spaces to include a whole range of unmanaged and neglected spaces; railway embankments, the wastelands behind factories and roadside cafes, the banks of motorways where unfortunate drivers wait for the recovery trucks … These are the spaces we do not seek out, but they are the places where we will often find what Shakespeare found - wild flowers.

From new life to death, from purity to passion, wild flowers have had many meanings in myths and legends. Swelling from tender bud to full bloom, flowers are associated with youth, beauty, and pleasure. But as they wilt and die, flowers represent fragility and the swift passage from life into death.

These themes, coupled with the rich variety and beauty to be found in wild flowers provides plenty of scope for artistic reflection. Poets have always had a field day with wild flowers and their observations have been captured in the titles forming this collection.

about

David Ashworth Sheffield, UK

My music draws its inspiration from the things I see, the things I remember, the things I read and the things I hear.
