Songbirds

For organ in three movements.  Total duration c.9'00

• Grey Shrike-thrush
• Australian Magpie - predawn song
• Grey Butcherbird

The accompaniments to the birdsongs are derived from the intervals, rhythms and implied chords of the birds’ melodies. The structure of each of the three movement consists of short sections of birdsong alternating with contrasting textures, intended to represent the long pauses between phrases that are typical of the songs of most birds.
