Vanishing Gold (2019)
- Peters Edition Limited (World)
Programme Note
Vanishing Gold is inspired by two little creatures: the once-abundant golden toad of Costa Rica was last seen thirty years ago, and has been declared extinct, while the golden coqui of Puerto Rico may also be extinct. Its distinctive two-note call is the starting point for the piece, which is a hymn to these vanishing tiny golden amphibians.
Jonathan Dove
Commissioned by the Endellion String Quartet on the occasion of their 40th anniversary with generous support from Lark Music and Brompton’s.
