    The fourth movement from Geoffrey Poole’s ‘Wild Goose’ for two guitars, written in 1984. Each movement is inspired by a different Chinese poem. 4. Pure Peace Music 'The mist is deep, the waters are broad; Tidings and letters have no way to reach him. Only in the azure sky there is the moon beyond the clouds, Minded to shine on the love-lorn pair so far apart. All day things remind me and wound my heart; My sad eyebrows are like a lock that’s hard to open. Night after night I ever keep for him the half of my quilt In the expectation of his spirit coming back to me in a dream.' Performed by the Miyabi guitar Duo (Saki Kato and Hugh Millington).
