Composer's Note:
My Wind Quintet No. 2, “Birds of Guandu” resulted from a trip to Taiwan in June 2009. My partner Karen McCoy was invited to exhibit in an international sculpture show in Taipei's Guandu Nature Reserve, a large bird sanctuary on the northern edge of the city. While there with her, I heard the calls of many species of birds I didn't know, and the mystery of their calls throughout the wetlands was evocative. This piece is the result of that experience.
