Two Bird Songs      

Two Bird Songs have been included in the Initial Grade of the Trinity College Singing Syllabus this year.

Albatross, Flying So High by Anthony Ritchie
Albatrosses are regular visitors to Dunedin, New Zealand. Each year the birds of the colony return from their ocean voyages to nest.

Korimako, Bellbird by Sue Court
The Korimako, or Bellbird, is native to New Zealand and is famous for its beautiful and complex bird-calls.

These songs originally appeared in Moa Music, a collection of 18 children's songs with a common theme of New Zealand wildlife, by Anthony Ritchie and Suzanne Court. It was published by Trio Publications of Dunedin, in 1995, in book form and on cassette.

Anthony Ritchie wrote songs for his young son Tristan, based on their shared experiences. Suzanna Court found inspiration for her songs in her various pets and childhood memories.

The price of this volume is NZ$12.00.
