Hey no problem. I too am captivated and also curious with the phoenix musical cry. That's why the Phoenix Lament is one of my favourite chapters in the book. The way she describes the cry is fascinating.
Harp and very light ( atmospheric) ochrestral stuff. And of course the sound of the phoenix itself. It must be beautiful at the same time scarily otherworldly. I am not sure how to achieve that, Im musically illiterate you see.
Yeah, J.K. Rowling did an amazing job describing the music. It was musically inspiring and I didn't expect that at all. And then the profound pain I felt reading about Dumbledore's death--I couldn't think or sleep well until I wrote about it.
I think harp and bells would work better for what I'm trying to do with "Fawkes' First Lament." Too bad I don't know how to play the harp.
I eventually want an orchestral arrangement of "Mourning Phoenix." I really want some rich cellos playing very richly and emotionally, like musical crying.

I'm musically literate, but we're in the same boat--how do you make otherworldly music with instruments from this world?

i think the harp would work best with the phoenix's lament....harp is timeless and unearthly..
