I was inspired by one of those quiet, pleasant sunny days under a cloudless blue sky, so well known to us in Australia. I fancied time suspended as I wandered amongst the roses in my garden.

This composition for oboe d’amore (cor anglais) and piano was completed in November 2004 and reflects upon the delights of life. I re-savour past joys and try to capture their essence within a transient musical interlude. It is a gentle one-movement piece, which I have dedicated to Jennifer Paull.

It should be played without rubato -- strictly in tempo, to enable the flow of the free rhythms, which I encompassed within the music.
