Ornithology Premiere: double tui

double tui

piano and ‘small orchestra’ of winds and percussion

~ ~ ~

the fantasy of being mobile

finds you cycling through the

night to find the

dawn chorus

which turns out to be quite complicated

as the farewell symphony

{to the wondrous memory of maurice till –

a fantastically enabling and generous mentor}

~ ~ ~

double tui is part of a series of compositions i’ve written

with the subtitle 22 new zealand birds
