Early morning light creeps into the garden of the Gezelle House. Whispers mingle softly with the song of awakening birds. Sounds dance through the air like a cloud. In Murmurations II – named after the awe-inspiring synchronised flight of a flock of birds – Stevie Wishart integrates poet Guido Gezelle's own words. Voicing the Dawn analyses and reinterprets the birds’ dawn chorus. And Clément Janequin's evocative Chant des oiseaux offers a 16th-century vision.
