Ruminations on the Potoo
“Ruminations on the Potoo” is a four movement piece played as one movement. Each movement is based on one particular aspect of Potoo bird:
I. Dusk
II. Googly-Eyes March
III. …flying…
IV. Party Time!!!
The piece is meant to be humorous, over-the-top, and ever-so-slightly pretentious. Slightly.
