Programme Note
The piece is based on an ancient Celtic caoine or lament, which has its source in the call of the redshank - a mournful, falling pi-li-li-liu. John Purser, in Scotland's Music, writes: `The redshank was held to represent the transition from life to death, living on the edge of the land on which man lives, and the ocean which represents eternal life.' Between Earth and Sea is dedicated to the memory of Ellen and Alice Paterson, who lived only a few weeks.
