Autumn Nest Building- for piano, alto saxophone and harp

Michelle Velvin’s Autumn Nest Building is for soprano saxophone, piano, and pedal harp. 

On this unique piece, Velvin says it “is the journey of a small bird from hatchling to full flight. The composition begins with the stillness of the nest amongst the treetops. The saxophone intrudes with moments of cracking and tapping as the bird begins to make its way out of the egg. We hear flitterings and flutterings, and poppings and burstings as the wee bird shakes out its feathers and marvels at the birds eye point of view.” 

This product includes one transposed score and one score in the key of C.

This is a graphic score, to be interpreted and improvised from freely.
