About This Song
About "The Five Sacred Trees (Concerto for Bassoon and Orchestra): IV. Craeb Uisnig" by London Symphony Orchestra
The concerto's finale bristles with knotty, argumentative energy. 'Craeb Uisnig' sets bassoon against jagged brass and percussion, the sacred tree now a site of struggle. Williams resolves the cycle not with peace but with a hard-won, resonant question—roots gripping stone, refusing to yield.
