lovely. Harrison made several records in her garden accompanied by a "nightingale" but it has been suggested that it was actually a whistler.

Coucou Tâm ! C'est Lan Anh, la fille de Bac Phuong (au fond sur la video). De quand date cet enregistrement? Je suis tombée dessus tout à fait par hasard ! Amitiés et merci pour avoir immortalisé ce moment musical inoubliable !

The song named "Paradise" and was composed by Văn Cao (15/11/1923-10/7/1995) who is also the author of the anthem of VietNam. The lyric based on a folklore: "Who's voice is sounding over the waves! Felling a story in paradise. Long time ago two young fellows by a very morning were wandering a lonely path on a high mountain leading to the heavens .....When they were leaving the heavens with regrets and loneliness. Farewell to paradise! Fare way the angels of love!". Keyword on Wikipedia: Van Cao

VERY NICE MY FRIEND!

Thanks for posting your most attractive transcription. I am intrigued by the bird-song - is it from the garden outside, or is it a recording forming part of the performance?

Thanks for your kind reaction! The bird-song sounds like a pre-recorded part but it did, in fact, come from the garden outside: local birds seem to have a strong rhythmic pattern indeed...

I'm sure Messiaen would have approved! Incidentally, there is a very famous 1924 recording of the British cellist Beatrice Harrison playing in her garden, accompanied by the trilling of a nightingale.

Was she playing "On hearing the first cuckoo in spring"?
