Performed live: Jessie Nucho, flute, Stephen Zielinski, clarinet, Jarratt Rossini, bassoon. Oct. 23, 2026, Community Music Center, San Francisco.

The title is inspired by Hopkins’ “As Kingfishers Catch Fire”, and Olson’s “The Kingfishers”, but the music doesn’t have a detailed connection to either.
