The park at Quinta Real was an 18th-century playground for royalty, with formal gardens and orchards now gone a little wild. The fields are filled with spring wildflowers in March. The noisy flock of blue-fronted parakeets are eating seeds.
At dawn the traffic is less and the birds are many in March. Blackbirds, greenfinches, a crow, collared doves, blue tit, wren, and black redstart are among the birds singing in the gardens near our apartment in Caxias, Portugal.
A cappella setting of a poem by Susan Edwards Richmond. Evocative imagery of being ready to wait in the cold to see birds. Can the music convey to a non-birder the special thrill of sighting birds in challenging conditions?
Middlesex Community College faculty concert for the climate change interdisciplinary weekend. Carmen Rodriguez-Peralta, piano; Anna Ward, soprano; Orlando Cela, flute; Robert Bekkers, guitar. Text adapted from E.O. Wilson's The Future of Life.
I compose music for chamber groups, orchestra, synthesizers, and off-beat instruments like mandolin ensemble. You'll hear beautiful sounds, dissonant harmonies, quirky rhythms. I'm inspired by nature, poetry, and any old sound - pots and pans, crystal glasses, wind and water, and especially birds. Influences include Bartok and Messiaen, sometimes a little bit of jazz and improvisation.Based in Lexington, MA, Pamela J.
