Tann, Hilary - The Gardens of Anna Maria Luisa de Medici

for flute, cello, and piano This trio is inspired by the last of the Medicis, the remarkable Anna Maria Luisa (1667-1743), who left Italy for Germany for twenty-six years while married to Johann Wilhelm of Saxony. Just one facet of her colourful life influences the composition: each of the three movements reveals her love of nature under cultivation.
