The Birdsong Project
Mission Statement
The Birdsong Project is a community dedicated to the protection of bird life, and to the celebration of the joy and mysteries of birdsong. We believe that birds - no matter feather or flock - are precious and inspiring and fundamental to our world. That a world without birds would be a world without freedom and flight and song. We believe birds matter. Are endangered. And need our help.
In collaboration with some of the world’s greatest musicians, artists, and
actors, For The Birds: The Birdsong Project is an art-filled, 20LP box set including over 200 tracks of original music and bird-related poetry. All proceeds from the sale of this collection and supporting events will directly benefit the National Audubon Society's mission to protect birds and the places they need, today, tomorrow, and for all our futures.

[@TheCheerieTeacher1225]

How I wish I am there in that moment when nature and exquisite music meld. So heavenly.

[@dorothypugh2614]

Birds like music, and this shows how that works!

[@aminesaib]

Wow.

[@lindahanson5877]

A dock on a lake. A banjo player practicing. The beaver and the muskrat swinging by, seemingly to listen. Music is a universal language.

[@lakatanga3238]

So Beautifull!!!! Thank you

[@joncaju]

Here on Earth Day, April 22, 2023, to listen to this beautiful music and birdsongs.

[@patriciatrujillo8599]

When I used to practice piano with doors and windows open, I was amazed at how birds warbled with the music. Thank you, Sir!

[@belindanadela4203]

Beautiful experience. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@korento3000]

That's exactly what I love doing.. playing piano or the guitar while the birds are singing. My favourite evening and Sunday pastime.

[@MartinSmithMFM]

Magnificent composition, drawing on all YYM's many beautifully ingested heritages, and an original piece of transcendent beauty; making near reference to 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' as well as a suggestion of the Quatuor pour la fin du temps. The sideways gloomy modulations to modal near minor seem to owe something to Walton, and suggest the crisis of the late 1930s. There is a drone-like, almost raga like, backing track, I think, to which YYM adds melismas all the way from the alto register to something (at the end) deliberately avian.

[@celibee4063]

I love how the birds complement, sing along and love your music!

[@easyplease5068]

My soul drank that in. I loved how he seemed to be playing for the birds at the end. What a beautiful way to spend his huge talent.

[@korento3000]

He seemed so moved as he played, I could feel his tears just as my own eyes welled... Moved by the music, moved by the surrounding beauty, moved by birdsong... triple-moved.

[@AmyTaylorMusic]

I had to play the video again. This time I closed my eyes and just listened. Beautiful.

[@korento3000]

Pure heaven... I've been looping this for an hour now. Thank you Yo Yo Ma and Anne Clyne for making the world a better place to be. Please don't stop

[@TanyaVegvaryPlescia]

Hahaha!!! BRAVOOO!! Well done!!!

[@kerileaman7452]

Instant tears. Maestro Ma is such a treasure

Thinking of Robert Fripp's Music for Quiet Moments as I listen to this.

[@anwari11]

Does anyone know where this is? What beautiful bird song! What beautiful togetherness.

[@juliezickefoose]

You can’t tell by the songs because they’ve mixed a European Nightingale over top of some US birds like Carolina wren, Eastern Phoebe and blue jay.

[@allanxu7997]

Yo Yo Ma is a True Legend, it’s literally a godsend that I had chance to his concert.

[@michaelhermiston]

such a brilliant idea and manifestation !!!!

[@bejingmao]

where is Anna Clyne?

[@davidwilcox8786]

are the birds really there or prerecorded.they sound very clear for being in the background.

[@juliezickefoose]

The nightingale has been dubbed in-it’s from Europe.

[@randallp.8313]

How does Rocky Balboa say hello to his mother? Answer: Yo, Yo, Ma

[@belindanadela4203]

😁😅🤣

[@mitchelhuott8484]

Do you have one without the background orchestra, I think it completely distracts from the cello and birds.

[@markpaulson1225]

The dictionary says that music can be defined as an organized sound. I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. John Cage made us aware in his composition 4'33 that music is any sound or silence. The sound of birds chirping, the crack of thunder, or the honk of a car is music. Even complete silence is music. The composition, In The Gale, combines the random sounds of birds with beautiful melodies on a cello. The combination is remarkable. John Cage would have thoroughly enjoyed this piece as much as anyone.
