Harvey started writing the piece when he was in California and says that 'indigo bunting, orchard oriole, golden crowned sparrow ... are some of the forty colourful Californian birds whose songs and cries sparked the ignition of this work'. The bird sounds have been innovatively transformed to create a mesmeric dialogue between nature and art. Harvey sets the piano soloist the challenge of combining piano playing and triggering a sampler\/synthesizer so that the live electronics can be realised in real-time performance.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther works on this disc are Other Presences, for trumpet and multi-loop effects, and two versions of the canonic Ricercare una melodia (1984) originally written for trumpet and quadraphonic tape-delay system, here performed on oboe and cello, with live electronics from Sound Intermedia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBird Concerto With Pianosong - Hideki Nagano\/London Sinfonietta\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRicercare Una Melodia for Oboe - Gareth Hulse\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther Presences - Paul Archibald\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRicercare Una Melodia for Cello - Tim Gill\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55143185252737,"sku":"799884","price":16.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/61TMNjX70HL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767676091","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/799884","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
