Birdsong Rhapsody I (clarinet)

By Michael Hannan

Regular price $20.00 Sale

Solo Clarinet in Bb

Birdsong Rhapsody I is in four clearly-defined sections, the first and third of which principally use birdsong transcriptions as the compositional material. The second and fourth movements, by contrast, enact "rhapsodic" treatments of the motivic ideas contained in the transcribed birdsong melodies.

Birdsong Rhapsody I (trumpet)

By Michael Hannan

Regular price $25.00 Sale

Trumpet solo, c.10'20.  Grade 8+

Birdsong Rhapsody I draws on the songs of Australian birds, in this case it uses songs of the Pied Butcherbird. It incorporates melodic transcriptions of birdcalls but in come movements or sections, it transforms musical ideas found in the songs using thematic development techniques, typically moulding birdsong melodic ideas into dance-like structures or angular new music gestures.

Birdsong Rhapsody II

By Michael Hannan

Regular price $15.00 Sale

Solo flute, c.7'40.   Grade 8

Birdsong Rhapsody II is in seven texturally differentiated sections. The second and the fourth of these are transcriptions of the songs of the Pied Butcherbird recorded in South-East Queensland. All the other sections represent variations of melodic ideas found in these transcriptions. Sections 1, 5 and 7, although derived from the Pied Butcherbird's songs, are influenced by decorative elements in traditional Japanese shakuhachi (end-blown bamboo flute) music.

Composed 2022

BirdTalk

By Peter Dart

Regular price $50.00 Sale

For 2 marimbas and pre-recorded sound.

BirdTalk was written for the players to enjoy. The composer has no idea what the title
means. For him it was suggestive of a playful dialogue between the two marimbas and the pre-recorded sounds. The sounds are chirpy and chattering rather than obviously birdlike.  The performers may interpret and play with the title as they please.
Composed 2018

Hard copy purchase includes reduced conductor's score and two marimba scores.

      Black dog near me, A

      By Andrew Batterham

      Regular price $35.00 Sale

      Flugelhorn and piano, c.6'00

      A black dog near me is a reflection on our mental health. The flugelhorn and piano together embody the journey that many people embark upon daily. Several times the music slows to a stop, then starts again like the dawn of a new day, until finally it ends by asking a question that cannot be easily answered. The title comes from a poem called ‘Melancholia’ by Robert Bly.

      Black Hole

      By Keyna Wilkins

      Regular price $40.00 Sale

      String Quartet with Black Hole Sounds c.4'00. Advanced

      A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, including light or other electromagnetic waves, has enough energy to escape its event horizon. It is unknown what happens beyond the event horizon. This piece is a free musical fantasy of what might happen when encountering this phenomena.
