To a Rising Bird

CD Compositions of Klaipėda Composers. - CD Bonifa 07998, 1998

This music lures the listener into a ripply stream of diatonic sound flashes, where sounds and chords follow each other in a very natural way, as day follows the day. Lengthened repetitions of melodic segments draw listener’s attention to a natural beauty of individual sounds and their mutual harmony. It is only in the coda when a sensible change occurs: the bird which had been walking on earth, suddenly starts to flap its wings and flies away high into the sky.
