Description:
Composing for Boston Music Viva on a Fromm Foundation grant; Melinda Wagner drew inspiration from an astounding video of an industrious little pufferfish and his sand artistry. Working 24 hours a day; he carves out a beautiful medallion of swirls and ridges; in the hope of attracting a sweetheart. Wagner has written; 'I was so moved by the careful preparation; determination; patience; and artistry of this little fish; who has no guarantees of finding true love. The phenomenon reminded me very much of the act of composing - of creating something out of nothing; with few guarantees.'
