  • Description

    Musgrave's 'opera for radio' sets a dreamlike tale of the American Civil War based on An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, Ambrose Bierce's short story. It is paired with Green, for 12 solo strings, and Wild Winter I, for solo voices and viol consort, both exploring different aspects of conflict past and present.
