8. Intshe the Ostrich Piano Solo - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.1138474

"Intshe the Ostrich" is the eighth in a series of fifteen original contemporary compositions for piano, titled "15 Animal Compositions for Piano" and created to musically describe the movement and habits of specific wildlife creatures. From music notes to words: "Intshe the old ostrich is in a very good mood. Walking through the South African fields surrounding Oudtshoorn, he comes across a narrow road leading to a desolated farmyard where a lot of delicious junk is waiting to be explored. He sees two ancient metal spoons and swallows it; then he gulps down an empty beer bottle, an old, broken wristwatch and a few shiny metal pieces. On his way back to the fields, he adds two round stones to his collection of strange, edible things. Feeling extremely happy after the gourmet meal, he starts moving around in a very weird way, dancing his heart out until his legs are like jelly. Every now and then he stands still for a few moments, opening and closing his wings to cool down from the heat of the exercise; then he dances again until he collapses of exhaustion, ready to take a very long nap in the hot South African sun.
