Program Note
MURMURATION is inspired by the phenomenon of starlings flying in a large flock. It is meant to reflect the graceful and fluid movements of the murmuration, shifting and changing direction like a single organism. The composer was captivated by the beauty of the starlings' undulating flight and wanted to capture this in the piece. As a result, the movement is characterized by rising and falling figures that reflect the fluidity and grace of the murmuration. The movement was composed in 2015 for pianist Lisa Moore
MURMURATION is the first movement from THREE MOVEMENTS FOR PIANO but may also be performed separately as an individual piece.
