Description
Some time ago I was asked by Emma Cordell of the Wren flute trio to write a piece for them; no caveats or requests. Having listened to the vibrant playing of this ensemble I was moved to create a trio full of movement and quirkiness! The title came after writing, and from dialogue with the ensemble … the invocation of moving water, both slow and languorous and fast and dangerous seemed to be encapsulated by the various ‘moods’ of The Strid where the river Wharfe passes near Bolton Abbey. Simple flowing compound rhythms meld into a maelstrom of complex jarring harmony: just as the waters of the Wharfe flow smoothly into the dangerous narrow rapids that are The Strid.
