A garden in nightfall breathes tranquility and reflection, but also mystery. White, red and gold slowly becomes green, blue and black. The harmony in Twilight Garden is a dim shadow of my other works Helios and Blue Memories.
When I wrote Blue Memories a couple of years ago, I chose an enamel painting by Swedish artist, Bengt Berglund from late 60's as cover for the work. This painting I chose is part of a series of other enamel paintings by Berglund. For a few years now, I have been thinking of writing music for the remaining paintings in the series.
Helios, Twilight Garden and Blue Memories are related to each other in terms of harmony, rhythm and character. The three pieces are written as standalone pieces, however the three pieces works well together as one substantial piece with several movements in it.
