Tintinnabulation with Marcus Vergette and Coach York

This performance will be a taster of Vergette’s larger work. Tintinnabulation refers to the ringing of bells, and is the title of Vergette’s album. According to BirdLife International nearly half of the world’s bird species are now in decline, with only six per cent having increasing populations. Tintinnabulation is a composition structured on the idea of a world with birds, and a world without birds. The composition utilises the interaction of bells and birdsong for its harmonic and melodic content. It also includes piano and double bass.
