A Caged Bird - Barbara York - Trombone or Euphonium and Piano |
||
|
An attractive work for trombone that will also work well for euphonium, and piano.
Barbara York writes, "This piece was not written specifically in response to either the poem by Maya Angelou or that by Paul Dunbar that both refer to the 'caged bird'. However, there is no doubt that both poems have inspired my own further exploration and now musical extrapolation on the subject of being 'caged' and still 'singing' in spite of this... Even within the many bonds and restrictive boundaries that we often find ourselves, it still seems to be a fundamental part of Nature as both human and spiritual beings that we cannot help but sing in both joy and praise both from ourselves and to our own Creator despite the sometimes, even apparently insurmountable obstacles we encounter."
