About this arrangement
SATB divisi Choral (Vocal Score) SKU: HL.48025221 Vocal Score. By Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Voces8. By Christopher Tin. BH Secular Choral. Collection, Concert, Concert Music, Festival, Poetry. Softcover. Duration 2760 seconds. Boosey & Hawkes #M051500000. Published by Boosey & Hawkes (HL.48025221). ISBN 9781705194201. UPC: 196288138334. 9.0x12.0x0.272 inches.The Lost Birds is a musical memorial to bird species driven to extinction by humankind. Sweeping and elegaic, it's a haunting tribute to those soaring flocks that once filled our skies, but whose songs have since been silenced. It's a celebration of their feathered beauty: their symbolism as messengers of hope, peace, and renewal. But it's also a warning about our own tenuous existence on the planet: that the fate that befell those once soaring flocks foreshadows our own extinction.
