Sojar Voglar Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austenite Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 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! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danishali903 Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Such a pleasant, quirky piece. Kudos to the amazing performers though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JairCrawford Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed, I tried to portrait sort of regular daily life of birds :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken320 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) 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, 2016 by Ken320 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishyfry Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) 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.
