SIMON GABRIELOW Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 THE GREEN PARROT.. This piece was written a short while back and is inspired by the image on a painting; of a Green coloured Parrot. The picture is painted in watercolour, with body colour, and also has metallic iridescent effects on its composition. The parrot in the picture is imaginary, however the artist [my mother Betty Gabrielow].. always recalled how in her earlier years her Gran, owned a parakeet she called Laura, which I believe was green coloured, so maybe this went into the idea. Whatever, the tune [ in G major] in 6/8 time .. is cheerful and rhythmical, and is moderately fast [not overly fast in tempo] .. and perhaps a Parrot could well have sung part of the tune itself?
