Molly Herron ~ Through Lines

Through Lines is a gentle work, so gentle one might miss it, if not for a pair of intriguing videos.  “Canon No. 3” is playful and fun, while “Lyra” is lovely and restrained.  Together they showcase two sides of composer Molly Herron,

Mumbles ~ Maystow Morrow: a story of rustling straw, thistle burrs and fire
