Awakening of the Flock and 3. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTake off and morning flight. Opening with the sound of mooring lines and pontoons clanking \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eagainst masts and piling posts, the sun rises over the harbour to begin our narrative. Our titular \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003echaracters rudely self-introduce through a chaotic madhouse of flaps, clucks and screeching as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe flock awakes. Several hundred wings then push to the sky as the squabbling throng lifts off, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ebefore disappearing out of sight, into the morning.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlute 1 2, Oboe, Bassoon, Eb Clarinet, Bb Clarinet 1 2 3, Eb Alto Clarinet, Bb Bass Clarinet, Alto Sax 1 2, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBb Trumpet 1 2 3, F Horn 1 2 3 4, Trombone 1 2, Bass Trombone, Euphonium (B.C. \u0026amp; T.C.), Tuba, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTimpani\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePercussion 1 - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnvil, Suspended Cymbal, Triangle, Cowbell\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePercussion 2 - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCastanets, Snare Drum, Egg Shaker\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMallets 1 - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGlockenspiel, Marimba\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMallets 2 - \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTubular Bells, Xylophone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thom Fletcher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51442240651431,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0303\/1774\/0170\/files\/GullsScorePreview_Page_1.png?v=1790744719","url":"https:\/\/mattklohs.com\/products\/grade-5-on-the-nature-of-gulls","provider":"Matt Klohs - Conductor\/Clinician\/Composer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
