from the booklet
Writing of his Ashes Dance Back (1997) for choir and electronics, Jonathan Harvey observes that in performance 'the hall was flooded with nature's power, as the choir dissolved and changed, humans audibly turning into the elements of wind, fire and water’. Elsewhere Harvey has spoken of his affinity with French spectralism — found particularly in works by Gerard Grisey and Tristan Murail — as promoting 'a great leap forward towards finding a new grammar based on nature'.
Bird Concerto with Pianosong, composed in 2001 and revised two years later, was probably Harvey's most ambitious exercise in the exploration of that new grammar before Speakings (2007-8), his remarkably rich composition for large orchestra and electronics, which might be said to do for verbally articulate humans what the concerto does for singing, wordless birds. The 'new grammar based on nature' is also a celebration of nature's awesome transformative power: or, as Harvey expressed it in his own note on the piece, 'real birdsong was to be stretched seamlessly all the way to human proportions — resulting in giant birds — so that a contact between worlds is made'. And even if all compositions involving birdsong are more-or-less explicit homages to music's most dedicated and resourceful ornithologist, Olivier Messiaen, Harvey's concerto, written a decade after Messiaen's death, is a celebration of the kind of technical advances in electro-acoustics which the creator of Oiseaux exotiques and the Catalogue d'oiseaux was never able to explore.
