Birdsong
Release Date:
As ABC Science Week asks Australia what the nation’s favourite animal sound is, The Music Show looks at the unique musical relationship between humans and birds. From Olivier Messiaen’s trio of birds written when he was in a Polish concentration camp, to English folkie Sam Lee, Muruwari and Filipino rapper DOBBY, and zoomusicologist (dream job) and violinist Hollis Taylor’s duets with birds, and David Lumsdaine’s composition-by-dawn-chorus.
