Birds in Music

This is BirdNote!
[Start Respighi music under]
We have many examples of music inspired by birdsong, but there are also composers who’ve used actual bird sounds in their works. Ottorino Respighi may have been the first composer to use recorded birdsong in his 1923 work, The Pines of Rome.
[Feature Respighi]
And here's a piece from Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara: "Cantus Arcticus" also known as “Concerto for Birds and Orchestra.”

In 2007, German producer Dominik Eulberg released this track, made entirely with sampled bird sounds.

For BirdNote, this is the actual Michael Stein.
