Jacobus Clemens non Papa: Ego flos campi

For our wedding ceremony, my wife requested that I set this beautiful poem by W.B. Yeats. It was first performed as Helen entered the music room of Egerton House, on 27th September, 2013.

He wishes for the cloths of heaven - The Egerton Consort

And low in the woods
did that dark walk 
a stranger to its trees
but brother to its heart.

-C. Owens

Warblework: Swainson's Thrush

Warblework: Swainson’s Thrush - Quatuor Bozzini (2011)

Alto recorder and live electronics.

Studio recording by Carmen Troncoso and Desmond Clarke.

This piece comprises two of the seven movements of RECORDARI.

oiseaux métamorphique (2017)

Oiseaux Domestiques is cycle of poems for voice (speaking/singing and everything in between) and chamber ensemble, about the most commonly-heard birds in urban Toronto. 

These pieces were composed for the Toy Piano
Composers Ensemble in Toronto, for a metal-themed concert, and they all use metallic sounds to capture the timbres of birdcalls. Each piece imitates some aspect of the bird’s vocalizations, while approaching each subject with a different narrative structure, viewpoint and/or mood:

White-Breasted Nuthatches celebrates the (a)rhythmic qualities of the bird’s call, and starts imagining what it might be saying.

Downy Woodpeckers explains why a love-sick bird might hammer on metal instead of wood.

Black-Capped Chickadees meditates on the perils of being a tiny bird in the winter.

European Starlings proclaims the joyful contradictions of these noisy, imitative and sublime invaders.
