Jenni Brandon: An Orange Tree for Bassoon and Contra

This music is inspired by the poem "Hay un naranjo ahi" by Alfonso Quijada Urias and its translation "There's an Orange Tree Out There" by Darwin J Flakoll. There is hope in this work as it explores and honors a story of remembrance of the immigrant experience and the ability to start a new life in a new land. Using the unique colors of the bassoon and contrabassoon, there is a conversation between these two instruments as they explore how an ornge tree "out there, behind that old abandoned garden wall" reminds us of an orange tree planted in a distant land before coming to this new place.
