When Blaze Ensemble asked me to compose a companion piece to Wagner’s ‘Siegfried Idyll’, it was an ideal project, as I had intended to write a short orchestral piece in celebration of the birth of our first grandchild, Leon. The title ‘Flourish’ seemed appropriate, as it means both an extravagant gesture and to thrive and prosper. With an English father and a Dutch/Danish mother, ‘Flourish’ uses traditional tunes from these countries to depict the energy of new life, a lullaby and finally, nursery rhymes from London.
