Product details

Beautiful Birds showcases birds' characteristics in 3 distinctive movements -
I. Lyrebirds - skittish, quirky birds with a mischievous temperament and an astounding penchant for mimicry;
II. Flamingos - elegant, stately yet slightly melancholic creatures;
III. Hummingbirds - fluttering, quivering souls flitting from one gorgeous blossom to the next.

Written for Ensemble Offspring, Beautiful Birds is a true exploration of the trio's virtuosity. In this epic three movement work an array of joyous bird calls are interwoven into dexterous lines. While Lyrebirds establishes the piece as a highly energetic celebration of sonic colours, Flamingos explores delicious and still moments of quiet conversation between the three instruments. The piece finishes with Hummingbirds, mimicking the bird's fast yet ever changing humming in an impressive display of swift-flying unison lines.
