It was first performed by John Turner, who commissioned it, at a concert in honour of the sixtieth birthday of the composer Anthony Gilbert, to whom the piece is dedicated. It is not a literal birdsong, but I hope it captures the spirit of jubilant dawn chorus - as well as the softer sounds of a dove, which does not get up as early as other birds! I wrote it while I was writing my opera 'The Wildman' and the epilogue of that opera is introduced by a piccolo solo which is very like Dawn's Dove - they share material. In the opera, it signifies early morning. Part way through Dawn’s Dove, the tempo becomes steadier and I quote from a beautiful work of Anthony Gilbert, his 'Towards Asavari’, for piano and ensemble. At the end of that work, there is a trumpet solo which outlines the Indian raga on which the piece is based. My quote alludes to that. The unfolding melodic line of Dawn’s Dove is sometimes inflected by microtones; the piece lasts between two and three minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Novello","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51898787463453,"sku":"NOV950327","price":35.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/2092\/9309\/files\/NOV950327.jpg?v=1781997057","url":"https:\/\/scarlettmusic.com.au\/products\/lefanu-dawns-dove-recorder-solo-arc-softcover-book","provider":"Scarlett Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
