After two years dedicated to teaching and composition, Keith Hyett is back on the concert scene.

These lovely pieces, which paint landscapes in our minds, tone poems as they are, are full of light and shade.  Many are inspired by the countryside and the estuary of the Severn, where Keith lives in a former ferry-man’s cottage. The surge and full power of the huge tide is in this music. The river is seldom out of sound and sight of home.  The music builds up to a mighty climax at the end of ‘Dance of the rivers’.

The beautiful narrative of ‘The Mill’ catches the ear, and then rushes and falls as a millstream does, over the great wheel and down to the river, and the sea.
