TREE by HRÆFN - Richard Price & Marijane C. Milton

This is a piece called TREE.

It’s about the tree outside my studio window, which is a meeting place for the birds in the neighborhood. The small birds gather there to chat and spread gossip, and then the Ravens / Crows barge in and push them out to have their time! After the Corvids leave, the small birds come back and the cycle continues .

PS: The Corvids are WAY noisier than the small birds! Oh, so much to say!!

I’m joined on this piece by a brand new collaborator who actually lives in the same town as me - my collaborators usually live in other parts and we work via long distant file sharing.

Her name is Marijane C. Milton. She has appeared in musicals, concerts, operettas, plays, choral programs (and the occasional piano bar) for decades. She currently resides in the Tucson AZ area with her three cats and her parrot.

Marijane’s voice is the tree that has lived a very long time in the desert, she’s feeling tired and weary, she’s been pummeled by winds, soaked in the monsoons, baked by the sun and has been a gathering place for thousands of small birds and Corvids over years.

I am very happy to welcome Marijane and her beautiful voice to my future creations.
