#1174 — Hummingbird waltz 蜂鸟圆舞曲

Concert in Malaga, Spain in July
3

Good morning, afternoon, and evening,

I composed this 3-track guzheng waltz today. Hummingbirds have returned to our Tennessee forest. I have a couple of bird feeders outside of my window. They have been coming to drink the sugar water multiple times a day. This adult male ruby-throated hummingbird has become less afraid of me. Now, he drinks the sugar water even if I stand in front of the feeder (photo 1 below). Wish I had a better camera to capture the flying bird. I found a hi-res photo of the same kind of hummingbird online (photo 2). What a gorgeous and mysterious little creature it is! Hope this song brings you a fun moment.

For friends in Málaga,Spain,

I am so excited to be debuting my solo concert at the historical Alcazaba of Málaga on July 15.

Alcazaba of Málaga:

“Perched dramatically on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean port and city of Málaga, Spain, the Alcazaba is an exceptionally well-preserved 11th-century Moorish fortress-palace. Built primarily during the reign of the Berber Taifa king Badis ben Habus of the Hammudid dynasty, it served as both a formidable defensive stronghold utilizing Roman ruins in its foundations and an opulent residential complex for Muslim rulers, featuring intricate palaces, serene courtyards, lush gardens, and reflective pools. Accessible via a winding, fortified path through multiple gates and towers, this layered citadel exemplifies Hispano-Muslim military architecture and Nasrid artistry, offering breathtaking panoramic views and representing one of the most significant and visually striking historical landmarks in Andalusia, showcasing centuries of layered history from its Roman base through its Islamic zenith to later Christian modifications.”
