Hummingbirds and The Silence
Composed by Kanehira Fujino
Duration:3'00"
Publisher:Golden Hearts Publications(ONSA)
Program Note:
Composed around 2007 (my memory is vague, so it may not be accurate). I made some revisions to the piece when it was published.
It depicts two hummingbirds frolicking in a quiet nature as they chat. The two B♭ clarinets are each a hummingbird and the bass clarinet is the quiet nature around them.
Perhaps they are far from human habitation, but there are no clear images. Nature may be a large dead tree, but it could be the windless surface of the water, or it could be the nectar-bearing flowers they prefer.
