About
This piece uses material from a piano piece I concurrently composed for Ross Carey, which was based on bird song. I enjoyed the challenge of having to transfer pianistic ideas onto a set of instruments with vastly different voices. To keep true to the thematic material I added the lyrics (with apologies to Shakespeare).
– Judith Exley
