19 Feb 08 - 05:48 PM (#2266794) Subject: RE: Nightingale song recording From: Herga Kitty Jennie, do you mean a recording of an actual nightingale singing, or a song about nightingales? (as in, My sweet heart come along, won't you hear the fond song, the sweet notes of the nightingale flow; you shall hear the fond tale of the sweet nightingale as she sings in the valley below) Kitty |

19 Feb 08 - 07:07 PM (#2266882) Subject: RE: Nightingale song recording From: Bill D found those here ...including this:"The British Library has a Listen to nature website with 400 audio extracts including many interesting bird sounds. Check out Nightingale (a 1910 recording, "the first published recording of a bird") under "Wrens, Chats and Thrushes," where you will also find a very nice Musician Wren. On the site is Jeffrey Boswall's Language of Birds, "an introduction to how, why, and when birds communicate." |

19 Feb 08 - 07:12 PM (#2266889) Subject: RE: Nightingale song recording From: Rowan Bill's second sight revealed 10 nightingale-thrushes but I have no idea which is relevant. I've been informed the Persian name for the nightingale is bulbul and there's a few of them around as well but I don't know the correct binomial. Cheers, Rowan |

19 Feb 08 - 07:22 PM (#2266899) Subject: RE: Nightingale song recording From: Bill D *smile* hope it helps..a search on "bird songs" led me to the site with links. |

19 Feb 08 - 07:27 PM (#2266903) Subject: RE: Nightingale song recording From: GUEST,Volgadon Bulbul is the Persian name, absolutely correct. In Hebrew, at least, it's also a little children's euphemism for a male reprodutive organ. |

19 Feb 08 - 07:29 PM (#2266908) Subject: RE: Nightingale song recording From: Rowan A sound file of Nightingale Erithacus megarhynchos from "British Bird Sounds on CD". Song, recorded by Douglas Bower, June 1973, Hampshire, England. is in the Wrens, Chats and Thrushes part of Bill's link. Cheers, Rowan |

09 Mar 10 - 11:11 AM (#2860125) Subject: RE: Nightingale song recording From: GUEST Jennie this may be too late, but i think, considering the beauty of the birdsong in question, that its never too late... 1. go to FreeSound.org and type 'nightingale' into their search line they have many examples, a few of which run to a half hour 2. NickPenny.com has a CD of birdsong, including a superb nightingale track; teh same track can be heard on YouTube 3. The Birders Market & Birding-radio.co.uk has an entire CD devoted to nightingale song CF Bull, USA |

09 Mar 10 - 12:30 PM (#2860202) Subject: RE: Nightingale song recording From: open mike nightengales are in the U.S. too. and i have often stood near them and recorded their song.. on cassette, and video tape... it was a rare treat to hear them, but i might not appreciate them quite as much if they were right outside my window going at it for hours and hours! (oh i guess i am thinking of mocking birds!) this place is a good source for bird songs.. http://www.birds.cornell.edu/ and my last 2 radio shows featured songs by and about birds...four hours filled with this! Ther is one song where the nightengale features prominently is "A Morning in May" or "Fiddling Soldier" as done by James Taylor, Jean Ritchie, Peggy Seeger, and many others. there are several links to audio files here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightingale there is another UK folk singer who has done an album dedicated to birds...birds in folk song by Derek 'Giff' Gifford as has Laurie Lewis who did an album as a benefit for Audubon Society Sanctuary. tweet tweet |
