As is her custom these days, Jenny McLeod's programme note is in the form of a self-written poem:
cumulus?
not so much
white fluffy puffy
as here there
high bright low
wild, raggedy
dense, dark, hymnic
calmo, agitato
with a bit of cirro-
cumulo-nimbo-stratus
thrown in
more like
McLeody sort of clouds ...
The piece has five sections: 'Scudding'; 'High Above'; 'The Dark Beneath'; 'Misty Within'; and 'Storm with Raindrops'.
