Moments Worth Listening For
The effortless transition from the jaunty title track into the sweeping, cinematic strings of Orchids in the Moonlight.
The way the vocal harmonies mimic the rustle of wind during the opening bars of Whispering Grass.
The high tenor flourish that caps off the nostalgic sentiment of Roses of Picardy.
