The Menagerie for String Orchestra

When I started writing this piece, I didn’t have a title in mind but as it developed, I began to think that it sounded like a mixture of different bird song in one place. The only thing I was sure about was, I wanted it to be minimalist in style with ideas morphing into each other and letting that process shape the music.
“The Menagerie” is written for String Orchestra and is around 8’ 25” in duration. From the initial one note pedal tone, the piece evolves providing melodic and rhythmic nuances which create the music and direction.
I hope you enjoy watching and listening to my latest piece. If you would like to perform this, the Sheet Music is available to purchase from both Sheet Music Plus and Sheet Music Direct from the links below:
