What Trees May Speak

Jonathan Sokol

Instrumentation 2 Flutes (2nd doubles Piccolo) 2 Oboes 2 Bb Clarinets Bb Bass Clarinet 2 Bassoons 4 F Horns – Mute needed 2 C Trumpets – Harmon Mute needed 2 Trombones – Straight Mute needed Bass Trombone – Straight Mute needed Tuba Timpani 1 Percussion:

Crotales (1-octave, C4 – C5), Tam-tam, 3 Gongs (H, M, L), Suspended Cymbal, Crash Cymbal

Harp Strings Pre-recorded Electronics in 3 Tracks (birdsong)

Performance Notes

Duration: 8 minutes 30 seconds Transposed Score Figures and patterns within boxes:

Are meant to be played through the duration of the thick bar following the figure. Are meant to be played as fast as possible. Are not intended to be performed as a section (strings only). Are not affected by tempo fluctuations that apply to the overall meter (accelerandos, ritards, fermatas, etc.).

Regarding the gongs: preferable tuning from low to high is F, Bb, D. If these tunings are unavailable, any combination of low, medium, and high will work. If gongs are unavailable entirely, replace with up to three suspended cymbals.

Program Note

Birdlife population rapidly decreases every year, not only in migratory species but in common, endemic species. According to American Bird Conservancy President George Fenwick, “…some studies suggest that perhaps as many as half of all migrating birds do not make it back home, succumbing to various threats along the way.” Additionally, average population of the common birds has declined 68% since 1967, due to factors such as habitat loss from urban development, deforestation, land conversion, and climate change.

What Trees May Speak embraces certain characteristics and behaviors of birdlife—especially the early morning songs of their daily Dawn Chorus, and the extraordinary feats of Spring and Fall Migrations—ultimately emphasizing a certain grandeur and broadness that joins both human and bird in a sort of spiritual connection. The central section of the piece, labeled Guam, is a representation of that island’s lack of native birdlife, all wiped out due to predatory alien invasion. Musically, this section is exceptionally quiet, sparse, and viscerally empty, a microcosm of the very real possibility of global bird silence, if conservation efforts were to slacken. What Trees May Speak is written in memory of my former mentor, Lee Hyla, whose unequivocal support and encouragement influenced so many of his students.
