Complete Recital Programs

Bird Songs

Birds—those multifarious creatures of song and flight—have inspired the lyrics of this program. The nightingale that sings through the night, the lark who sings first in the morning, the swan that sings only before dying, the stork that brings messages, the hummingbird that drinks the nectar of flowers, as well as amorous turtledoves, waddling ducks, and chattering swallows, are the apparent subjects of these songs. Humans, however, lie just beneath the surface of each lyric, since in each of these avian characters we have seen ourselves.

Composers include: Alabiev, Berlin, Bishop, Brahms, Chabrier, Chausson, Duke, Granados, Grieg, Hahn, Lennon/McMartney, Milhaud, Puccini, Wolf.
