"Good for choirs making the transition from beginner to intermediate level - a lyrical setting of life-affirming words written by an unknown child incarcerated in the Terezin concentration camp in Czechoslovakia, with a relatively simply lower part" Music Teacher 2001

"I think that Birdsong has captured the hearts of my middle-school choir. We will be performing the song on Tusday, and tonight I am doing reacherch on it, to present to my peers. This has been a perfect song for this 7th grade choir. You'll enjoy it very much!"

"This piece is absolutely wonderful. Especially because it is poems written by children in Concentration Camps and they are just happy to be alive! It is wonderful!"
Britten's pacifist masterwork, combining war poetry by Wilfred Owen with the Latin Requiem Mass, is included in the Masterworks Library of full scores, ideal for conductors, students and music lovers.
