A Chinese Gong, a Kindred Spirit, a Canvas: Crowe's Composition Gets Clang, Company and Conclusion

Burning of Darkness small
I've been tracking Charlotte Composer David Crowe's progress from commission to performance of a new work based on paintings by Nicholas Roerich. (Learn more from earlier posts here.) To keep me up to date, David's been leaving messages on my cell phone which I can share with you by way of this blog. As you'll hear in his latest message, this is the painting David's settled on for the final movement of his new work, Dreams of Wisdom. (To see a larger version of this painting--Roerich's Burning of Darkness--click View image).

In David's message he describes how a setback turned out to be a leap forward, how he was discovered by way of this blog by a composer in England who shares an interest in Roerich's work and has been working along similar lines as David, and how a birthday gift--a Chinese Gong--has quickly been included in the fabric of David's work in progress.
