The first movement is a direct transcription of the song of the Pied Butcherbird, an Australian bird with a sense of musical pitch and structure remarkably similar to humans. The second movement takes the song of the Hoopoe Lark as a starting point, but I've shaped the form of the song into something more music-like. After writing these two movements, I found that I liked trying to think like a bird so much that I made up three fictitious birds, the Ringed River Snike, the Pileated Pocket Grouse, and the Green-Rumped Antstalker: their songs make up the remaining two movements of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Composers Edition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45452057280591,"sku":"ce-ed1mfm1-pr-s","price":18.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/59f87d1ec82e73cd8002ef3583f7f209.jpg?v=1780504740"},{"product_id":"doolittle-music-for-magpies-version-for-viola-da-gamba-composers-edition","title":"Doolittle: Music for Magpies (Version for Viola da Gamba)","description":"\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/pt\/collections\/emily-doolittle\"\u003eEmily Doolittle (1972-)\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong class=\"original-instrumentation-title\"\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan class=\"original-instrumentation\"\u003eViola da gamba\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWork\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003ca href=\"\/pt\/collections\/doolittle-music-for-magpies-2003\"\u003eMusic for Magpies (2003)\u003c\/a\u003e (quarter-tone frets)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"binding hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBinding\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli class=\"book-pages hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages\u003c\/strong\u003e: None\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"one-half columns\"\u003e \u003ch4\u003eDescription\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"feature_divider\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003efor viola da gamba with quarter-tone frets\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eMusic for Magpies\u003c\/em\u003e was commissioned by Karin Preslmayr for viola da gamba with quarter-tone frets, and was subsequently transcribed for flute at the request of Cliff Dunn.
