This piece was written in my first university year for Chandra Chapman, who played it through, although the piece has yet to receive its official public premiere.

The piece is a representation of the Harpies of Greek mythology, merciless bird-women who tormented the dead of Tartarus by constantly stealing their food and defecating on them, amongst other things. It is not specifically programmatic, but rather an evocation of their character.
