Product Details

Description

This work was inspired by a painting entitled Water Dreaming, by an artist of Papunya, a desert area of Western Australia. Water Dreaming was based on ‘Dreamtime’, a myth handed down among the Australian aborigines. Though simple, the painting is filled with mythological signs and symbols. Its unique image completely captured my heart. Following a short prelude, the melodious theme played by the flute is a musical adaptation of the water icon in the painting. The entire work is composed of numerous melodic sub species and colorful embellishments derived from this theme. Toru Takemitsu
