35. Tide ~ time & tidings
from beneath the stream Hosted by beneaththestream
A high tide coming Will eat the land A tide no breakwaters can withstand. Act 1 Scene 1 Peter Grimes, Op. 33 Benjamin Britten, libretto Montagu Slater On a cold winter's day, we go down to a river that becomes the sea and, in an exploration of the complex human relations with the tide, we go with the ‘ebb and flow’, feel the currents, watch the high water mark and study what gets cast up. We are waiting to see what the tide brings and what it takes away; especially at this time in human history. With music from Colin Williams. ‘JUST AS THE TIDE WAS FLOWING’ BY JON BODEN.
