Murmuration describes the delicate sound of tens of thousands of wings created by migrating starlings as they congregate at dusk and form stupendous patterns in the sky. Richard Blackford writes in his performance notes: "The players should try to avoid accenting the first notes of each group. For the overlapping sections they should try to match each other dynamically as much as possible and thereby create a seamless texture." Richard Blackford has written extensively for the theatre, and his credits include The Laborers of Herakles, The Kaisers of Carnuntum, The Prince's Play, The Pig Organ, Follow My Leader, and others. Both of his critically acclaimed choral works- Mirror Of Perfection and Voices of Exile- were the subjects of television documentaries and have been frequently broadcast on Classic FM and BBC Radio 3.
