About 10 minutes walk from where I live there is a ford in a river. It is called The Splash and is one of my dog, Simba’s, favourite places. No day is complete for him without a swim in the Splash, no matter what the weather is like. It is a lovely spot where the water swirls gently although on occasions when the river is in full spate it can rise quickly and become forceful. This piece reflects that, with its fluid motif running throughout.

There is some decorative writing for the woodwind but the pace of the music is moderate and the technical demands are therefore easily manageable.
