NOTE: each movement may be performed alone, as a separate piece.

For movement 2, CD #2 recording -- TRACK 1 (:54) (bird sounds) AND TRACK 2 (:21) (Jolson's Red Red Robin) is played from a boom-box or other on-stage sound source, only at certain moments. It is usually operated (start and stop) by the percussionist.
