Carl FischerOld Birds for Flute and Piano
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gary Schocker’s Old Birds is a flute-and-piano suite that combines neo-Baroque inspiration with a French-influenced musical language. Its three movements—“Chatty Birds,” “Depressed Birds,” and “Happy As Finches”—give the suite distinct bird characters. The work also frames older French and Italian Baroque composers as observing participants in its premise. It is written for advanced flutists.
