Fallen Arkansas Blackbirds

vaisvil

Fallen Arkansas Blackbirds is inspired by the 2011 New Year’s Eve report of thousands of blackbird dead and dying in Beebe Arkansas. Some apparently dead upon impact others dying a bit slower as they tried to walk away. This is the sad scene that I try to relate in this composition.

french Horn and trombone
flute and bassoon
violin + french horn and cello + trombone

The opening trombone theme started as the riff for Patriot http://alonetone.com/vaisvil/tracks/patriot
