Review
We listen to the songs of birds but we don't always really hear them. . . . To remedy this, the British Library has drawn on its vast sound archive to present Secret Songs of Birds. . . . The effect is astonishing. . . . Such songs were probably the first music we humans heard; through the magic of these recordings, we have the unexpected sensation of entering an Eden made audible. --Eric Ormsby, Bookforum
It is a revelation. --Simon Barnes, The Times
Enough savagery and violence. Relax and listen to the glorious trilling of the ruby crowned kinglet, the rufus tailed scrubbed robin, the grasshopper warbler and 24 other lesser known songbirds. The ultimate DIY dawn chorus. --Sue Arnold, The Guardian

Product Description
Discover the hidden beauty of birdsong with this remarkable new CD from the British Library. Many songbirds, such as the Skylark, Icterine Warbler and Grey Fantail produce songs that astound us with their complexity and speed of delivery. Though these songs never fail to impress, it is almost impossible for the human ear to distinguish the wealth of hidden notes and surprising melodies that make up these remarkable compositions. On this disc original recordings are played alongside digitally mastered versions where the natural speed has been specifically altered to reveal the subtle intricacy of each song in its full splendour. Join us as we enter this unknown world to hear the secret songs of birds. Includes an introductory booklet. Track listing 1. British Wren 2. Icterine Warbler 3. Common Yellowthroat 4. White-winged Fairywren 5. White-bellied Sunbird 6. Siberian Rubythroat 7. Skylark 8. Common Redstart 9. Barred Warbler 10. Spotted Wren Babbler 11. Curve-billed Thrasher 12. Protea Canary 13. Goldcrest 14. Grasshopper Warbler 15. Lesser Shortwing 16. Ruby-crowned Kinglet 17. Blackcap 18. Chestnut-vented Warbler 19. Reed Warbler 20. Grey Butcherbird 21. Rufous-tailed Scrub-Robin 22.
