The Bright Leaf Trios feature Lisa Arkis on flute and Daniel Barrett on cello with the composer, Judith Sainte Croix, at the piano. The five movements, Naked, Lyricism of the Lake, Glittering Day, Angelic Mysterium and Flower of Fire are derived from paintings of southwestern landscapes made while Ms. Sainte Croix was at the Wurlitzer Foundation, an artist colony in Taos, New Mexico. Reproductions of the paintings appear in the liner notes.
