Di Primavera for guitar and marimba was inspired by a trip to Italy, an astonishing place that overflows with artistry in every aspect of its culture.  Di Primavera (“of Spring”) is reminiscent of warm spring breezes inviting a late afternoon thunderstorm in the Tuscan hills, the lusciousness of Botticelli’s painting “Primavera,” and echoes of a melodic idea derived from Monteverdi's fourth book of madrigals. 

Di Primavera is featured on David Malone and Gary Wain’s recording of Tasmanian guitar music, Fretsongs, and on Kammerbox performed by Karin Schaupp and Claire Edwardes.
