Additional info/contents	The slow introduction uses thematic fragments that are developed in the further course. The accompaniment to the main melody is the rhythmically sustained chord progression. A chorale section is followed by the second main melody, accompanied by fragments from the first section. The solo fragments used in the slow, quiet middle section are not exactly ordinary. The finale builds on the chord progression of the chorale section, with all the important thematic fragments also slowly added. Now all the themes that were initially presented individually sound together and after this climax all this fades away again and the work comes to an end in a soft way with a shortened repetition of the slow middle section.

Programme notes *: The poem "Sea, Sky and Golden Hill" by Kenneth Patchen and the composition of the same name by David Bedford form a fascinating artistic connection between words and music. Both works capture the beauty and diversity of nature and invite the listener or reader to immerse themselves in the landscapes and moods they describe. Kenneth Patchen, a 20th century American poet, is known for his lyrical and visual poems that often explore the relationship between man and nature. "Sea, Sky and Golden Hill" is an example of Patchen's poetic sensibility and his ability to use words to create vivid landscapes and emotional experiences. The poem transports the reader to a world of sea, sky and golden hills, where nature shines in all its splendour and beauty. David Bedford, a British composer and musician, was inspired by Paten's poem and created a composition of the same name that musically captures the moods and impressions of the text. In his music, Bedford uses a variety of sounds and instruments to depict the different elements of nature. Bedford's composition expands and deepens the experience of the poem by giving the listener an extra dimension of emotion and atmosphere. The music draws the listener into a sonic landscape that is as vivid and inspiring as the words of Paten's poem. Together, the poem "Sea, Sky and Golden Hill" by Kenneth Patchen and the composition of the same name by David Bedford form an artistic symbiosis that blurs the boundaries between words and music. Both works bring the beauty and power of nature to life and inspire the mind to marvel at and appreciate the wonders of the world. This connection between literature and music demonstrates the transformative power of art and how it can inspire us to see the world around us with new eyes and reach deeper levels of understanding and appreciation.
