Product Description

Apus, Late Intermediate Piano Solo, is the name for the southern hemisphere constellation representing the Bird of Paradise. However, the name actually translates as footless, owing to the Dutch explorers mistaken belief that the bird had no feet. The Bird of Paradise does have feet as well as beautiful feathers. This piece is based on the octatonic scale (semi-tone, tone alternating series) which was often used by Olivier Messiaen, who (by the way) incorporated bird song into some of his compositions. This mysterious sounding piece is from 88 Constellations a collection by Heather Cattanach featuring one piece of piano music for each of the 88 constellations (to match the number of keys on a standard piano). Performance Time 2 minutes. 2 pages. (General Instructional, Modern, Repertoire, Recital, 21st Century)
