The Illuminated Score
The flowers of your garden, woven through its music.
The opening of your music, written by hand and framed with flowers pressed from your garden.
Made by the same hands
Only the composer could make it.
Each Illuminated Score is made from a single garden, by a single hand.
Glenda writes the heart of your work by hand: its opening melody, its title, and its dedication to your family. Around the staves she lays flowers gathered from your garden on the day she first walked it, pressed slowly until they are ready.
There is only one in the world, and it belongs to you: your garden, and the first notes of its music, kept together for generations.
How your Illuminated Score is made
From your garden to your hands.
- I
Gathering
On her visit, Glenda gathers flowers and leaves from your garden at their peak: the roses by the terrace, the blossom from the tree that matters most.
- II
Pressing
The flowers are pressed slowly, by hand, the traditional way, until each petal is ready to keep its color and form.
- III
Writing
Glenda writes the opening of your music in ink, by hand, with its title and the dedication to your family.
- IV
Composing the page
Flower by flower, she arranges your garden along the music, so the melody and the blooms seem to grow together.
- V
Framing and presentation
The finished Illuminated Score is framed and presented to you. Many families choose to unveil it at the premiere, in front of their guests.
Where it lives
A garden you can hold onto in every season.
In the heart of your home
Above the piano, in the library, at the top of the stairs: wherever you keep it, it tells the story of your garden and your music to everyone who passes.
For the generations to come
Long after the premiere, the Illuminated Score keeps the garden's flowers and the first notes of its music together, ready to be handed down.
Four splendors, all from one garden
