5 The Song of the Birds

The Song of the Birds, or El Cant dels Ocells is a Catalonian Carol from 1714. This performance of the Nashville Early Music Ensemble was a selection from their concert An International Christmas which was performed on the WPLN radio program Live From Studio C. The photos shown during this song were taken during this WPLN performance but might not necessarily be of this specific song.

The Nashville Early Music Ensemble is designed to perform the vocal and instrumental music of the Medieval and Renaissance periods as well as folk music from several world cultures. The twenty-seven member ensemble features musicians with diverse musical backgrounds but all with experience in early music. Instruments used by the ensemble include viols, lutes, guitars, ud, psaltery, harp, violin, recorders, sackbut, and a wide variety of percussion. The singers perform in original languages. The ensemble director is Dr. Gerald Moore, a retired music professor from Lipscomb University, who taught music theory and directed the university Early Music Consort for over twenty-five years.

Esta es una canción lenta; esta interpretación parece una marcha. Todo su encanto ha sido borrado. El Director no ha comprendido el alma de la canción. Que pena¡¡
