About

A beautiful selection of classical music inspired by our feathered friends! Blue tit, robin, lark, nightingale, cuckoo, blackbird and linnet find musical expression alongside exotic pelicans, a bluebird and some imaginary birds. Listen too for the dawn chorus expressed in music and the thieving magpie!

Classical composers have been inspired by birds and birdsong for generations. This collection brings together music from seven centuries of tradition.
