Synopsis

Avian Capriccio was commissioned by Axiom Brass in celebration of their 10th Anniversary and premiered by them on September 16, 2016. Avian Escapades is a re-orchestration and was premiered by Blair Woodwind Quintet on September 26, 2016. The three movements can be played together or any movement can be played independently as a stand-alone work. To be performed along with dancers when feasible. I. Hummingbirds - imagine the musicians as playful, capricious, virtuosic hummingbirds darting around a garden, whizzing across multifaceted, rapid-changing chord progressions in a bebop-like fast tempo. II. Swans - majestically floating in a lake, as the morning sun gradually rises, are infused with Bill Evans' impressionist harmony and trademark rhythmically independent, singing melodic lines. III. Canaries - please envision active, jaunty and alert canaries crisscrossing the perfumes of Charlie Parker's Yardbird Suite and Ornithology. There are only seven dynamics used in this score which often staggered and layered (niente, pp, p, mp, mf, f, ff) so that each 'level' of volume has a clear meaning and sound. Augusta Read Thomas
