Description This work is primarily explores the duet form. there are three deuts linked by solos for the women. Each duet becomes a different interpretation of the same poem - Silken Tent by Ben Frost.

The sound score incorporates an earlier highly original composition by Les Gilbert entitled Harmonium Music.

Silken Tent

She is as in a field a silken tent
At midday when a sunny summer breeze
Has dried the dew and all its rop
