Egrets are graceful, elegant, and majestic, while night herons are stealthy, patient, and cautious. On a hot and humid summer day, I had the privilege of photographing both species in action. Inspired by the playful interactions between the two birds, I composed “Dance of the Birds”. Through the interplay between the cello and the piano lines, this piece portrays the egret and night herons’ vitality in their natural habitat.
