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.”

Lance Eccles Sep.2024

This composition is comprised:

1. Chorus of Tasmanian Devils

2. Chorus of Dingos

3. Chorus of Rainbow Lorikeets

Lance Eccles was a member of the Reluctant Consort, a Sydney based recorder group, for 20 years, and nearly all his recorder compositions and arrangements have been written either for that group or for meetings of the Sydney Society of Recorder Players.
