Arrival of the Birds
This performance is a free download on SoundCloud.
I've always liked The Cinematic Orchestra, and their piece, Arrival of the Birds, was recommended to me by a reader. Such beautiful music. It instantly became on one of my favorites.
This song is from Disney's The Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos. The film documents the Lesser Flamingos that gather each year at Lake Natron in Tanzania -- and the salt lakes of the African Rift Valley. A Lesser Flamingo (aptly named) is slightly smaller -- though still large by most bird standards. The Crimson Wing follows their breeding and parenting, as well as the strength and determination of the species.
