May 11, 20169 yr When I composed this piece I never imagined that by now it would become my most internationally acclaimed composition up-to-date. I wish you pleasant listening!
May 17, 20169 yr Revisited this one as well. Indeed, a very pleasant work to listen (especially for people who, like me, are pretty fond of tango). If one could find a characteristic of contemporary music in general, it would be this willingness to compose pieces for odd chamber ensembles - but not everyone is able to make it actually work. You seem to be fully in control of your creative powers, and it shows. Thanks for reposting!
May 18, 20169 yr Did you have a story playing in your head when you composed this? Because I can practically see these birds conspiring to go to war, falling in love, mourning for loss, and all sorts of things as I listen to this. You paint a very vivid picture with your sounds, and I must say it's very very cool!

May 19, 20169 yr Each year, spring brings the mourning doves to my balcony. I witnessed their "foreplay" and it was not unlike a Tango! They caressed each other with their necks twined together, sliding around like two hands washing each other. This went on for a while, then the male was ready. He got behind the female and got, you know, busy. So I closed the curtain to give them some privacy. Edited May 19, 20169 yr by Ken320
May 19, 20169 yr Brilliant! I had no idea three piccolos could make such lovely sounds together. The musicians hips in this performance are incredible. And congrats to you for writing such a natural piece for such an unusual ensemble. I'm going through your works for the first time on here, and they are quickly becoming some of my favorites on the site. Edited May 19, 20169 yr by fishyfry
