Yo-Yo Ma performs a work for cello in the woods, accompanied by a birdsong chorus
The Birdsong Project is an endeavour organised by the Audubon Society as
a ‘celebration of the joy and mysteries of birdsong’ via visual art, music and
poetry. In this music video from the album For the Birds: The Birdsong
Project, Vol II (2022), the celebrated cellist Yo-Yo Ma
is seen and heard performing ‘In the Gale’, which he created in collaboration
with the composer Anna Clyne. Perhaps the only piece of music written ‘for
cello and birdsong’, the performance sees Ma alone with his instrument in a
wooded landscape, performing the poignant work alongside a chorus of some of
nature’s most gifted singers.
