Each brass element captures a fleeting moment from the dawn chorus. Silent Echoes is a response to the quieting of our natural soundscape — a reflection on the birds whose songs are fading from our lives, such as the Skylark, Nightingale, and Song Thrush.
The loss of birdsong is perhaps one of the most poignant reminders of the delicate balance of our natural world.
