Green by Thea Musgrave: Resonate
About the piece
This work is about conflict – expressed by the clash of opposing musical forces. Many parallels to this conflict can be drawn from real life. The title “Green” for represents either the freshness of youth, or for the plant life in our world on which we all depend.
