[Dixielandjazz] Music is ?

[Fr M J (Mike) Logsdon]

> One literal example is Respighi's "Pines of Rome" wherein he has recorded bird calls noted in the score to be played in concert.
> 
> In another more figurative context, Beethoven in the second movement of the Pastoral Symphony has scored the flutes and piccolos to play cuckoos and bird calls.
> 
> I'm sure there are more but those two immediately spring to mind.

Handel's *Israel in Egypt* has an entire section where the music totally 
represents the plagues Moses inflicted, the plague of the flies being 
the most eerie, particularly for the 18th century listening public!,
