According to Williams' program notes on his piece, it was inspired by the writings of poet Robert Graves about the prayers that ancient Celtic tribes incanted before felling a tree. While each tree had its own prayer, Williams invokes five: the great oak, Tortan, yew, ash and the Dathi tree. The work was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic for bassoonist Judith LeClair.
