Product Description
Christopher Tin is a Grammy-winning composer of contemporary classical music. He wrote the musical score for a documentary called "The Lost Bird Project," which follows the stories of 5 birds that were driven to extinction. This beautiful piece borrows a portion of the melody of that score.
Hope Is the Thing With Feathers is a choral piece, but it translates well into an instrumental one. The music is based on the poem written by Emily Dickinson:
"Hope" is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
I've heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.
Scored for Eb, 4 Bb, alto, Bb bass, and Bb contrabass clarinets.
Duration: 3 minutes
