Sea-blue Bird

For mezzo-soprano and piano, c.5'00
Poem by Alcam

Alcman was a pioneer of Ancient Greek lyric poetry in the 7th century BCE and a predecessor of the renowned lyric poetess Sappho. Legend has it that when “ceryli” (male kingfishers or halcyons) grow old and are no longer able to fly, the females of the species carry them, bearing them upon their wings.
