By John Mackey. Score. 34 pages. Published by Michael Rainwater (H0.715821-SC000960884).A kingfisher is a bird with stunning, brilliantly colored feathers that appear in sunlight as if they are on fire. Kingfishers are extremely shy birds and are rarely seen, but when they are seen, they are undeniably beautiful.
The first movement, “Following falls and falls of rain,” is suspended in tone, but with hope, depicting the kingfisher slowly emerging from its nest in the early morning stillness, just after a heavy rain storm. The second movement, “Kingfishers catch fire,” imagines the bird flying out into the sunlight. The work ends with a reference to (and a bit of a pun on) Stravinsky’s Firebird.
