麻豆社 Singers - Cowie, McCabe, Bingham, Stanford, Dutilleux, Messiaen
The 麻豆社 Singers under chief conductor David Hill perform birdsong-inspired music, by Edward Cowie, McCabe, Bingham, Stanford, Dutilleux, Messiaen, Britten and Vaughan Williams.
Live from Earth Music Bristol at St George's.
Presented by Petroc Trelawny.
The 麻豆社 Singers and their Chief Conductor, David Hill, embark on a birdsong-inspired musical adventure that begins with the world premiere of Edward Cowie's 'dawn piece', Bell Bird Motet, and ends with a 'dusk piece', his sumptuous Lyre Bird Motet.
Along the way, they explore pieces that respond to the sounds and habitats of birds, from Stanford's The Blue Bird to Elgar's Owls and Vaughan Williams' s The turtle dove. Peter Hill plays solo piano works by Messiaen and Dutilleux.
