Then, as humans began to generate music, birdsong became a source of thematic material from as early as Janequin\u2019s four-part chanson <em>Le chant des oiseaux<\/em> (c1559). As music evolved, composers described birds in music and replicated their sounds; birds have been an inspiration in madrigals and folk songs and in the music by composers from Monteverdi and Vivaldi, to Beethoven, Delius, Mahler, Granados, Messiaen and numerous others.<\/p>\n<p>A new CD release from the Bowerbird Collective <em>where song began, <\/em>brings a creative new perspective to the combined aesthetics of instrumental music, voice and birdsong. This collaboration amongst violinist and vocalist Simone Slattery, cellist Anthon Albrecht and ornithologist Tim Low, with sound recordings by Andrew Skeoch, Sue Gould and Ann Jones and photography by Muneer Al Shanti, transcends boundaries. What they have created is a document that is also a work of art; a transfixing soundscape that embraces cultures and ages, the composed and the improvised, the indigenous and the stylised and which highlights the utterly unique birdsongs of Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Cuckoos and nightingales have for too long enjoyed an unfair share of the limelight in western music. <em>where song began <\/em>looks to the beauty of the sounds made by shrieking lorikeets, warbling magpies, black cockatoos, lyrebirds and a veritable of aviary of birdlife.<\/p>\n<p>The 11 tracks add up to around 65 minutes of music. Opening the collection is <em>Dawn Chorus<\/em>, an excerpt from Arvo P\u00e4rt\u2019s <em>Fratres,<\/em> with overtone singing. Escaping to the peace and solitude of the wilderness, it begins imperceptibly, as if waking at daybreak, the songs rising to a glorious avian choir of honey eaters, robins, pigeons and thrushes, recorded at Strangways in central Victoria. <em>Fratres<\/em> was written by P\u00e4rt without fixed instrumentation, the soaring bravura arpeggios taken on by the strings contrast with the sonorous simplicity of the overtone singing.<\/p>\n<p><em>Reclaiming the Spirit<\/em> by the Australian composer and cellist Sarah Hopkins, takes us straight to the throbbing red-centred heart of the nation. Composed for the 10-year anniversary of the renaming of Uluru in 1993, the cello\u2019s dramatic double-stops comprising pedal point and melody, evoke the earthy sound of the didgeridoo.<\/p>\n<p>Ralph Vaughan-Williams\u2019 tone poem <em>The Lark Ascending<\/em>, is a cornerstone of the violin repertoire scored for solo violin and piano in 1914 and revised by the composer for solo violin and orchestra in 1920. It immediately conjures up in broad brushstrokes, the lark swooping over the verdant rolling hills of the English country side. In this excerpt, the sweet soaring violin melody is taken by the sonorous cello depicting Carnaby\u2019s Cockatoos and \u201cchattering Blue Wrens,\u201d linking with the next piece, an excerpt from <em>bird, song, seas<\/em> by Chris Williams. Simone Slattery brings to life the wheeling and crying of gulls, with improvise bird calls and the gentle sounds of the sea while Anthony Albrecht plays a thrumming cello line of double stops. As the birds fade into the horizon, we are left standing on the shore at ebb tide.<\/p>\n<p>Simone Slattery contributes two of her own compositions to this anthology. Swooping virtuosic arpeggios are the theme for her <em>Improvisation on a Bowerbird\u2019s Failed Courtship, <\/em>bookending a central section which evokes a pastoral folksong and elements of Vivaldi. The incongruous \u201cclicks and rattles\u201d of the bowerbird\u2019s seduction ritual, play in the background. <em>In the Night<\/em> is a serene assemblage of the sounds of darkness. A pedal point of cicadas and strings swell and recede against the calls of the Pied Butcherbirds of the Ormiston Gorge in the Northern Territory.<\/p>\n<p>Ross Edwards\u2019 <em>Ecstatic Dances<\/em> were originally composed for flute duet and later adapted for various other combinations of instruments, including string duet. Described by Edwards as \u201cradiant and insistently melodic\u201d the syncopated rhythms of the second dance draw together the chatter of budgerigars with indigenous Maninya beats.<\/p>\n<p>A bracket of two pieces plays homage to the baroque pioneers. The <em>CuCu Sonata<\/em> by Schmelzer (1664) has, at its core, the haunting descending third of the cuckoo\u2019s call.\u00a0 This is piece has, at times, charming and featherlight improvisations from the violin over a continuo-style cello; at other times, the two instruments are in dialogue. Complementing this, is the iconic <em>Prelude<\/em> from J S Bach\u2019s <em>Cello Suite No 1<\/em>. Birdsong is only featured before and after the piece, allowing Anthony Albrecht to draw a pure resonance from his cello, exploiting the full range of Bach\u2019s writing. He plays with slightly more rubato than might be expected in the style, underscoring leaping arpeggios, improvisatory passages and unexpected dissonances, giving flight to the prelude\u2019s rising and jubilant conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>Adelaide composer David John Lang\u2019s commissioned piece <em>Anthochaera carunculata <\/em>is a representation of the Red Wattlebird. A piece driven by playful rhythms that maximise the technical and percussive properties of the violin as well as conventional bowing, it ends in a rapturous, swelling cacophony of birdsong.<\/p>\n<p>The collection wraps up with <em>Ngara Burra Ferra<\/em>, an indigenous song of the Yorta Yorta peoples. The history of the song reaches back in time and is a translation into the Yorta Yorta language in 1886, of an ancient Jewish tale of the escape from slavery in Egypt. It features magpies and honeyeaters from Victoria, with the sultry vocals of Simone Slattery.<\/p>\n<p>The booklet accompanying the recording has observations on birdlife from Tim Low, exquisite, vibrantly coloured imagery by Murni Al Shanti and passages of verse and prose from writers who include Siegfried Sassoon and Maggie Slattery.<\/p>\n<p>Simone Slattery and Anthony Albrecht have extended the possibilities of their instruments, masterfully demonstrating just how intertwined are music and the sounds of nature, both in their origins and in the ability of the violin to recreate avian life in sound and movement. In the context of the current devastating bushfires and the catastrophic loss of wildlife, <em>where song began <\/em>could well become a critical archive.<\/p>\n<p>Bowerbird Collective\u2019s<em> where song began <\/em>offers serene listening and the opportunity to immerse yourself in nature &#8211; perfect for the deck or the garden at dusk with a glass of your favourite tipple &#8211; or\u00a0a cup of bush tea.<\/p>\n<p><em>Shamistha de Soysa\u00a9 for SoundsLikeSydney <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Available for purchase at<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wheresongbegan.com\/cdcheckout\">www.wheresongbegan.com\/cdcheckout<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em> Andrew Skeoch\u2019s website <a href=\"http:\/\/www.listeningearth.com\">www.listeningearth.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>First, there was birdsong.
