Erland Cooper - Dawn Chorus Erland Cooper
Black Vinyl LP
Inspired by ecosystems, birdsong and the bright wonders of the natural world, Dawn Chorus is a celebration of life, renewal and our enduring connection to the landscapes around us. Recorded with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra and acclaimed violinist Freya Goldmark, it is a work of both intimate beauty and sweeping scale.
Erland has long found inspiration in the natural world, and Dawn Chorus continues that journey with his most expansive orchestral writing yet—music that imagines the first light of day as a shared moment of hope, awakening and possibility. Perhaps one day, it might even be performed in concert at dawn.
