Why birds sing
David Rothenberg discovered that birds responded to his playing the clarinet by singing back. Visit his website to hear samples of “duets” played between David and the birds, and also to find out more about both birdsong and what human componists have done using birdsong for inspiration. There is plenty to keep you occupied on the website, but if you want to follow up in more detail, David has also published a book and a CD on the same subject. Details are on the web site. If you happen to live in the USA, he is currently touring both the west coast and the east coast.
