What do flowers do at night?
for full orchestra
10:00 min"What do flowers do at night?" was inspired by a plant called Selenicereus grandiflorus - a cactus species that blooms in a beautiful way, but only once a year for one night. The charged, mysterious mood that comes with the anticipation of a unique event served as the starting point and form-giver for this work, and the beauty and elegance of the blossom, seemingly created so effortlessly by nature, served as an inspiration for me in crafting my composition.
