Moonflower Faeries (2016) by Joey Brink

In 2015 I served the Bok Tower Gardens carillon fellow for five months. I was the only resident of this 130 acre botanical garden in central Florida - human resident, that is. Moonflower Faeries is inspired by the very magical feeling of walking through the gardens at night, with the moonflowers in bloom and the faeries out to play. I came to know the garden paths by heart and could navigate my way by starlight. The gardens are beautiful during the day, but at night, they come alive.

Moonflower Faeries was commissioned by Geert D’hollander and premiered by D’hollander at the 23rd Book Tower Gardens International Carillon Festival in March 2017.

This recording is the premier performance by D'hollander on March 4, 2017.
