The First Spring Day
Marshall, Steve
1 S or T. Steve says: The First Spring Day is a set of fairly straightforward solos, inspired by verse of the same name by the English poet Christina Rossetti (1830-1894). The inspiration was rather indirect, by taking eight fragments from the poem fragments that suggested musical ideas to me. Performance time of all eight pieces is about nine minutes.
