Julian Anderson: Eden
This work is a homage to the Romanian sculptor Constantin Brancusi, whose simplicity of line and formal clarity have been a constant source of fascination. Though Brancusi never made a sculpture entitled “Eden”, much of his work seems to reflect a state of pre-civilisation, as if presenting the viewer with a glimpse of a lost innocence to which to aspire. This orchestral piece has the same aim – hence the title.
