Bird Songs (2016)
for soprano and percussion
Texts from Stray Birds by Rabindranath Tagore
- Silence will carry your voice like the nest that holds the sleeping birds.
- The bird wishes it were a cloud. The cloud wishes it were a bird
- Listen, my heart, to the whispers of the world with which it makes love to you
- The cricket’s chirp and the patter of rain come to me through the dark, like the rustle of dreams from my past youth.
- Roots are the branches down in the earth. Branches are roots in the air.
- The bird-song is the echo of the morning light back from the earth.
- Light in my heart the evening star of rest and then let the night whisper to me of love.
