GUEST,paperback Why don't more composers use birdsong? (68* d) RE: Why don't more composers use birdsong? 12 Apr 18


I was a beach boy, and I believe I learned my songs from the birds of the Brazilian forest. -Tom Jobim

We learn about the types of trees that filled the backyard of Jobim’s childhood home; the furniture in the above-garage office where Jobim began the flirtations with the piano from which would flow many of his earliest compositions; the birds that sang outside the homes he shared with both of his wives.

Book Review: ‘Antonio Carlos Jobim: An Illuminated Man’

I think all art tends to come from the books of Nature & God, (save the few perverse kinds).
