Birds Ringtones

Welcome to Bird RingTones App.

Birds have played a role in Western Classical music since at least the 14 th century, when

composers such as Jean Vaillant quoted birdsong in some of their compositions. Among the

birds whose song is most often used in music are the nightingale and the cuckoo.

Composers and musicians have made use of birds in their music in different ways: they can be

inspired by birdsong; they can intensionally imitate bird song in a composition; they can

incorporate recordings of birds into their works, as Ottorino Respighi first did; or, like the cellist

Beatrice Harrison in 1924 and more recently the jazz musician David Rothenberg, they can duet

with birds.
