About
This is the early piano version of my orchestral work Requiem for a Bird.
It has sombre undertones, making use of different scales and birdsong, bringing to mind the music of Oliver Messiaen.
It requires a small amount of improvisatory skill from the performer.
I gave the first performance of this solo version at the Canterbury University School of Music in 2006.
