. I respond to the comment of my previous publication to highlight the curious and charming song published in Paris in 1528: Birdsong Clement Janequin. Several songs from this show a religious approach that may seem now experimental but at the time that corresponds to a logic of imitation of nature found in other arts. The willingness of descriptive Janequin manifests itself in his use of onomatopoeia expected to reproduce various sounds of nature and human activity. Thus he has also composed songs titled Cries of Paris , War or the Battle of Marignano .

This is of course other reasons than those that led to the birth of sound poetry in the 20th century, but it is a prerequisite interesting. Needless to say, the birds have inspired many classical composers times, well before Olivier Messiaen and his bird Catalog (1956-1958). To quote again from the "old" may be mentioned, for example several pieces for harpsichord by François Couperin ( The warblers plaintive, frightened Linnets, etc..) Or the violin concertos of Antonio Vivaldi (The Cuckoo , The goldfinch ). As an illustration nothing ironic, I chose Lifes a partridge and a pair of gloves painted in 1504 by Jacopo de Barbari (Munich, Alte Pinakothek). I look back my compilations of John C. Rock.
