The Lost Birds

Sweeping and cinematic in scope, this multi-movement work serves as both a tribute to the birds that once filled our skies and a warning about our own tenuous existence on the planet. The compositional vocabulary, like the poems it draws on, is rooted in the rich artistic heritage of the 19th century, embracing beauty and pain in equal measure. Advanced ensembles will relish the opportunity to explore the subtleties that fill the skies of this musical reflection.
