Description
Originally commissioned by The Song Company for their Leunig Almanac series in 2015, this song cycle vocalise contains 7 little songlets lined up like ducks in a row. Ruth writes: “I was having trouble with time-management when I wrote this piece. I had a small child and was pregnant with another one and I was wondering how I could focus enough to write a longer piece. It was then that I realised ducks are multi-faceted, and have short attention spans, so I shouldn’t worry.” Individual songs are available for $1 each on request.
