Lyre Bird in the Chilterns!

Yesterday morning, I recorded Edward Cowie’s fantastic ‘Menurida Variants’. Here is a single take, and images from the walk to and from the studio in the Chilterns. This piece is inspired by the Australian Lyrebird, the Superb lyrebird (Menura novaehollandiae). The sharp-eared witll spot some Haydn references!

This is one take, with the page-turns left in (they will be snipped out for the released recording). But I wanted listeners to see what I do with a one-take account of a large piece.
