Description
Rosebuds is an instrumental piece based on my song for alto and guitar "As gleams the Rosebud"
(my father's translation of a poem by the Renaissance poet Pierre de Ronsard)
the idea being the old theme of "Gather ye rosebuds while you may" ...
The old poet advises the object of his love to make the most of young life and he remembers his own youth
with nostalgic regret.
Versions have been arranged for flute, alto flute, clarinet and cor anglais, each with classical guitar accompaniment.
The sound sample is an electronic preview.
