I see kestrels on my way to work often so I was trying to determine the best way to present them. I finally stumbled across the word ‘orchestral’…probably in the middle of the night when things like this hit me. So from there I begin looking for specific instruments. A friend of ours, Penny plays the cello and I went to a music store for the string bass. One of my art students, Cody Wilmoth, and a wood carver, Don Kaelber from SD were ultimately helpful in getting photos of a kestrel, a small hawk. Con Brio is a musical term meaning “with spirit”.
