Jerome Kerns Numbers
The uoiees Of Churchill and |
Roosevelt.
Topping the notes OF the record
reviewers this week is the story
OF how two Cornell university
scientists. Profs A. A. Allen and
p. p. Kellogg. made a series of
bird song records.
The voice of a woodcock and
seventy-one other birds are to be
found in American Bird Songs
(six ten-inch records. So. The
album Ia the work Of the Albert
r. Brand Bird Song Foundation.
Laboratory OF ornithology, Cornell
university. and IL is released by
the comstoek Publishing company
Of Ithaca, N. Y.
The voices of six birds are re-
corded on each side of a record.
Each record contains twelve in
general classification. Thus the
first disk Is devoted to the birds
OF the north woods. the second 10
birds of northern gardens and
shade trees. the third TO birds of
southern woods and gardens. the
fourth to birds of the field and
prairies. the fifth to North Ameri-
can game birds. and the sixth TO
birds of Western North America.
One reviewer puts IL this way:
The sound effects on these rec
ords give them a delightful sense
Of space and atmosphere. They
evoke the murmur and odor and
contour of woods, fields and
streams. AS a background to one
bird you hear a rushing stream.
Behind the voice of the spotted
sandpiper s the tapping Of the
waves of the sea. Behind the Bal
timore oriole you hear the Growing
of a rooster"
An Interesting album (Deeca,
three twelve-inch records) is an
arrangement of six of the best
known Jerome Kern tunes for
string quartet. Included are All
the Things You Are. The Way
You Look Tonight. Smoke Gets in
Your Eyes. Once in a Blue Moon,
The Song Is You and Bill-take
