Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments

Sounds of pennies dropping....Pasquini transcribed by Respighi for 'The Birds'; Jacob van Eyck transcribed a folk song about a nightingale; Rameau inspired by Boticelli. Am I getting any warmer as a result of cuddling up to Italian birds?Comment
