The birdsong is a traditional Catalan Christmas carol. The song explains the joy of nature on the birth of baby Jesus in the stable of Bethlehem. As is common in traditional music, its origins are unknown. According to Joan
Amades, the text of the song is sung with different melodies. The most famous, made famous by Pablo Casals, adjusting the pace of cradle and it is used as a lullaby.
The illustrious Catalan cellist Pau Casals played this song on numerous occasions. This song became popular in some of the arrangements that he wrote, but in no case be interpreted as if the play were his, but belongs to the traditional Catalan culture.
result of feeling Catalan Pau Casals, feeling confronted by supporters of Franco, and a conference at the United Nations where he played this song, with orchestral accompaniment, the singing of birds became a symbol of peace and freedom around the world, but significantly in Catalonia.
is typical in Barcelona dismiss illustrious dead with singing of birds on the funeral to honor them. The same
Pablo Casals played this tune usually before finishing his concerts and recitals as a hymn to the harmony between peoples. In addition, Pablo Casals not ever played the cello in countries where there was war.
In his concert at the White House before President John F. Kennedy, after hearing the melody, the president he said: "We have made you feel humble."
numerous adaptations have been recorded, among which are its remarkable arrangement for eight cellos, or its arrangement for piano and cello.
Another version is the featured saxophonist Pedro Iturralde, which starts with a saxophone solo and ends with a set for jazz orchestra. We have also recorded several versions of songwriters (Lluís Llach), lyrical singers (Victoria de los Angeles), rock (rock Shepherds, etc.). Before Pau Casals, Pep Ventura wrote a heartfelt and beautiful Sardana with this name where the tenor is perhaps the most emotive cello master Pablo Casals.
This set of interpretations we suggest dimension and emotional interpretation of the piece. Pablo Casals popularized the songs of birds to the point in listening to the melody, one associates it with the feeling of country.
