Composer Emily Doolittle’s “Migrations” based on the poem of the same name by Eleonore Schönmaier “for poet, bass clarinet, violin, and cello.”

“The birds depicted in this piece – lesser black-backed gulls, Sardinian warblers, Northern wheatears, and willow warblers – are all birds that might be found on the southern Spanish coast, where the poem takes place.”  —Emily Doolittle
