Birdsong in the Morning.
A lovely little ditty by the Royal Manchester College of Music's favourite polymath, Thomas Pitfield. Did you know, that Pitfield and his wife Alice nursed an injured blackbird back to health and it became so attached to them that it used to peck oh his window when they were late feeding it? It ended up moving into their garden.
Pitfield loved nature and used to translate birdsong into score on his many wanderings around Greater Manchester's moors as a young man.
For such a dismal time of year, I thought a little birdsong was in order. Enjoy!
