'On an Overgrown Path' alludes to a Moravian wedding song, in which a bride observes wistfully that 'the path to my mother's has become overgrown with clover'. The poignant nostalgia expressed by these words reflects the mood of Janxe1cek's cycle, in which he conveys a series of memories, both tender and tragic, his luscious harmonies and floating melodies creating an idealistic view of a bygone world.

Tippett's 'The Blue Guitar' is a monumental and hugely important contribution to the guitar repertoire. The three movements convey three 'moods or gestures': 'Transforming', 'Juggling', and 'Dreaming'. To reflect both the title and the guitar's own musical history, Tippett weaves blues-inflected harmonies into the fabric of the music.
