program note
Hanna Greenbaum was born at 10:20am on 27 December 2007. As I did when her brother Aksel was born, I took her up to the hospital nursery and sang to her, the song in question this time being Lavender’s Blue. The miniature which follows was written around a week after her birth and is a relatively free series of variations with octave displacements leading to a more overt blues–influenced statement of the theme.
