Twilight Crane (Yuzuru)
Gottlieb, J

Jack Gottlieb presents Twilight Crane (Yuzuru), Fantasy for Woodwind Quintet and Narrator.

Jack Gottlieb composed Twilight Crane in 1961 for woodwind quintet with piano and was first performed in 1962 by the New York Philharmonic Woodwind Quintet. The work was later revised with narration in 2001 with performance by the Quintet of the Americas and Chris Vasquez narrating.

Based on an old Japanese folk-tale, Yuzuru, the work expresses a universal theme; the conflict between materialism and spiritual values. A crane, in gratitude for having her life saved by a woodcutter, turns mortal and becomes his wife. For a while they lead a simple child-like existence. When it is discovered the bird-woman has the power of weaving extraordinary cloth, the idyll is over. Driven on by two avaricious villagers, the husband is vanquished by vanity and greed. He demands more and more cloth from his wife until she is forced to resume her form as a crane. She flies away from the human world, leaving behind the woodcutter, now confused and remorseful.
