Of all the Birds

Available Now!

Three of English folk music’s high flyers - singer and fiddler Caroline Butler, cellist Gill Redmond, and oboist Charles Spicer of The Mellstock Band - spread their wings with a selection of music on the theme of birds. Like magpies, they have collected the sparkliest songs and tunes from the middle ages to the twentieth century. Naughty cuckoos, spiralling skylarks, jolly robins, and dark mysterious ravens trill music from Henry Purcell to Hoagy Carmichael while their musical nest is lined with riches from the folk tradition.

Sample tracks:

Track 1 - There was a little snow white bird    Track 2 - Of all the birds/The Phenix/Birds a-building
