The Louder the Birds Sing was written for the Royal Scottish National Orchestra in 2021, and explores the themes of strength and fragility. It is a reflection of the emotional turmoil that the pandemic has provoked and how it has exposed both our strength and fragility. The title refers to the phenomenon people observed during lockdown where the birds seemed to be singing louder. This was, in fact, more to do with our own noise pollution being hugely reduced than the birds changing volume. There was a disconcerting realisation for me personally that the louder the birds seemed to sing, the more dire our current situation was and this paradoxical notion created a great sense of unease in the apparent tranquility.
