As the title suggests, Geda's Weaving's draws together strands and threads - musical ideas (taken from the other five works that comprise my Lithuanian 'project') and poetic ones from Sigitis Geda. Although the work runs without a break it is in three movements entitled The First, Second and Third Weaving. The first is inspired by Geda's dark and aggressive Traces of the Toad Cult Found Alongside Veprynas Lake, the second by the intensely moving Poem for Arvydas, the Field of Love. and the third by The Collective Request of the Dead Country Children of Pateru Village which I have depicted as a collage of musical games. The three movements rework materials from earlier works weaving together kaleidoscopic colours and memories in homage to a most wonderful country.
