Peter Maxwell Davies composed with Australian poet Randolph Snow in 1969. Inspired from stories of King George III teaching a group of bullfinches to sing, of which was made a representation of madness.
The birds, as flutes & toy whistles, move between the ‘bars’ of the kings music in a piece shaped like a bird cage.
