DESCRIPTION

Just in time for spring, this class celebrates the long tradition of birdsong in classical music. We'll listen to works ranging from early vocal imitations to programmatic Baroque pieces, from Romantic nature portraits to modern compositions that incorporate actual field recordings. Along the way, you'll meet some of music history's most famous avian guests — cuckoos, nightingales, larks, cranes, goldfinches, and more — and discover how their songs helped shape the sound of classical music.

Instructor: Brenda Leonard has taught classical music related classes and courses at the Center for Modern Aging for many years, works at the Cape May Museum, Arts, and Culture, and is a classically trained cellist.
