Then it became the last part of a triptych based on the theme of
the seasons, called "The Bud, the Blossom and the Berry", the first
part of which finally became the "Prelude for string orchestra op.25".
Ar Finzi's death, less than half of it had been fully orchestrated.
Howard Ferguson completed the orchestration. A pervasive sadness
dominates this work written in the characteristic somber lyricism of
the composer.
