Egretta Alba

wind sextet

The score is a function similar to that of a chart upon which sound patterns are organised within areas of duration. Patterns are represented by a system of tuplets. Each instrument has a particular colourfield: 

The flute is yellow

The oboe is pink

The clarinet is orange

The bassoon is blue

The horn is green

The trumpet is red

For this performance, the above instruments have been transposed to the singing voices of the nightingale, the loon, the woodlark, the goose, the blackbird and the flamingo respectively.
