"The calm, silent, still waters reflecting the scattered flowers, the colours evanescent, with delicious nuances of a dream-like delicacy."
Claude Monet
Monet's
greatest challenge lay in capturing the essence of a fleeting moment such as
the light and reflections on water. As his vision failed in later years, the
image on the retina was now only a starting point. Monet's Dream was
commissioned by Creamer and Lloyd (art in business facilitators) for an event
in 2008. The brief was to produce a short film with original music initially
based on the concept of a particular fragrance. The above words written by Monet appear at the end of the film.
The music for this film was written for flute, violin, glockenspiel & harp. On this recording the violin is played by Michael Peck & the flute by Matthew Tucker
