GRENFELL: Di Primavera (1998, revised 2001) for Guitar and Marimba

Di Primavera (1998, revised 2001) for Guitar and Marimba

Maria Grenfell

Duration 9 mins

to David Malone
Di Primavera for guitar and marimba was inspired by a trip to Italy, an astonishing place that overflows with artistry in every aspect of its culture. Di Primavera (“of Spring”) is reminiscent of warm spring breezes inviting a late afternoon thunderstorm in the Tuscan hills, the lusciousness of Botticelli’s painting “Primavera”, and echoes of a melodic idea derived from Monteverdi’s fourth book of madrigals.
The work is in three movements
Di Primavera is featured on David Malone and Gary Wain’s recording of Tasmanian Guitar music, Fretsongs, and on Kammerbox by Claire Edwardes
