Bush Choruses

Bush Choruses is written for a recorder quartet comprised Descant - Treble - Tenor and Bass.

“The Bush Choruses represent three animals of the Australian bush. The Tasmanian devils are angry little animals, running back and forth, fighting with one another and screaming. Although dingos are a type of dog, they don’t bark. Rather, they howl (or one could say ‘sing’) together. Rainbow  lorrikeets are small, multi-coloured parrots that move in big flocks from tree to tree, all squawking and chattering noisily.”
