Vokalensemble vokalista: The Lost Birds - An Extinction Elegy

In the organizer's words:

On the occasion of our 10th anniversary, we present The Lost Birds in the version with string quartet and harp.
This breathtaking work by two-time Grammy award-winner Christopher Tin was made famous by the British vocal ensemble VOCES8.

The work

It is a musical memorial to the bird species that man has wiped out. Rousing and elegiac, it is a haunting tribute to those soaring flocks that once populated our skies, but whose song has since fallen silent. It is a celebration of their feathered beauty: their symbolism as messengers of hope, peace and renewal. But it is also a warning of our own precarious existence on this planet: The fate that befell these once soaring flocks foreshadows our own extinction.
