For those in or near UK this summer, this is the first announcement of the =
symphony that will premiered at the Cheltenham Music Festival (UK) on 12 Ju=
ly 2014. A collaboration between Richard Blackford, former Balloil College =
Oxford composer-in-residence, and me, this will be the first classical musi=
c expression that fully incorporates a broad range of biophonies as an inte=
grated sonic texture within the context of orchestration. Based on themes d=
eveloped in the narrative of my recent book, =93The Great Animal Orchestra:=
Finding the Origins of Music in the World=92s Wild Places,=94 the score is=
a culmination of the development of the history behind the idea that anima=
ls taught us to dance and sing. Here=92s the link:
