The details of the birds and their calls are below. It is composed in two parts for flexible string ensemble along with a separate part for double bass and piano. Ask your students to identify the bird calls within the piece. A calm, gentle and soft piece which helps develop legato string crossings and secure intonation in a familiar D major key.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBeach Stone Curlew Song\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"57\" width=\"176\" alt=\"Beach Stone Curlew Song\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0014\/2521\/1486\/files\/BeachStoneCurlewSong_480x480.png?v=1708305497\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0014\/2521\/1486\/files\/BeachStoneCurlewSong_480x480.png?v=1708305497\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAustralian Pipit Song\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"59\" width=\"134\" alt=\"Australian Pipit Song\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0014\/2521\/1486\/files\/AustralianPipitSong_480x480.png?v=1708305594\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0014\/2521\/1486\/files\/AustralianPipitSong_480x480.png?v=1708305594\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePied Oystercatcher Song\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg data-mce-fragment=\"1\" height=\"60\" width=\"297\" alt=\"Pied Oystercatcher Song\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0014\/2521\/1486\/files\/PiedOystercatcherSong_480x480.png?v=1708305704\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0014\/2521\/1486\/files\/PiedOystercatcherSong_480x480.png?v=1708305704\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrade:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1'38\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey:\u003c\/strong\u003e D major\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Violin, Viola, Cello, Double Bass, Piano\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neridah Oostenbroek","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40384687603806,"sku":"NOSO52","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0014\/2521\/1486\/files\/TwoShortPiecesNeridahOostenbroek.jpg?v=1708304664"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.simplyforstrings.com.au\/collections\/neridah-oostenbroek-string-orchestra.oembed","provider":"Simply for Strings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
