I think if you check, you will find Mozart imitated birdsong in several the=
mes. Try Beethoven's Symphonies for bird imitational themes (#6,7, and 5, i=
f=A0I recall).

Classical Music depicting Bird Song

I have been asked to appear on a local radio show to discuss bird song in c=
lassical music and play examples. I have copies of the Lark Ascending by Ra=
lph Vaughan Williams and The Swan by Saint- Saen but very little else. The =
cello concerto by Dvorjak reminds me of migrating geese but I'm not sure if=
that was in the composer's mind.
Does anyone have any suggestions of pieces that I might introduce into the =
programme, depicting bird song? I'm not on till the end of July so have ple=
nty of time to come up with more examples.I might also be able to play a co=
uple of real bird song recordings!
Many Thanks
