GUEST,BlackAcornUK Folk songs about birdsong...? (31) RE: Folk songs about birdsong...? 01 Jun 20


Hi all, I hope you're keeping well - thanks again for all above suggestions. I just published a 2nd instalment of my #AFolkSongAFortnight singing/writing project, this week, belatedly, on 'The Birds in the Spring'.

Also including:

> The influence of birdsong on human art, culture and language;

> Birds within folk and classical music, and the parallels between song and wildlife sound-collecting;

> The impact of Covid 19 on engagement with both nature + creativity, and the possibility of a resurgence for each.

Furthermore, I was fortunate enough to gather very generously granted quotes from Sam Lee and also Cheryl Tipp, the British Library's wildlife sound curator.

Please do share with people who might be interested!
