The Voice of Desire - Judith Weir

Bird song and art song are very close, even though birds know better than we do. Judith Weir talks with Sabine Bergk about the refreshing and optimistic power of music. Welcoming the day, as it is written in Robert Bridges poem "Nightingales" - that Judith set into music in her song cycle "The Voice of Desire" - might be close to welcoming every moment in Zen Buddhism. Just one moment or even one chord can be more than you would ever think, if you start exploring it.
