Bitterroot Baroque will present a free concert, “Bird Fancier’s Delight,” on Wednesday, June 19 at 6 p.m. at the Bitterroot Public Library, Hamilton. Baroque composers were just as inspired by birds as birders are today, listening to the songs of nightingales, cuckoos, ravens, swans, and chickens, incorporating them into their music. Inspired by a book of pieces for solo recorder titled Bird Fancyer’s Delight which promises the listener that they will get to ‘hear these little animals warble out their Celestial Harmony.’ This program features works by Biber, Rameau, Handel, Walsh, and Couperin paired with poetry from the 17th and 18th centuries.
