El Cant Dels Ocells
"El cant dels ocells" (, 'The Song of the Birds') is a traditional Catalan Christmas song and lullaby. It tells of nature's joy at learning of the birth of Jesus Christ in a stable in Bethlehem. The song was made famous outside Catalonia by Pau Casals' instrumental version on the cello.Historical Dictionary of the Catalans Helena Buffery, Elisenda Marcer 2010 97 "He settled in Catalunya Nord to remain close to Catalan soil and organized concerts and music festivals in Prada de Conflent. One of his most famous pieces is El cant dels ocells based on a Catalan folk tune. After his exile in 1939, he would begin each of his concerts by playing this song. For this reason, it is often considered a symbol of Catalonia. Joan Baez included it in her 1966 best selling Christmas LP, dedicating the song to Casals. In 1991, Catalan tenor Josep Carreras recorded "El cant dels ocells" on his album, ''José Carreras Sings Catalan Songs''. His Three Tenors colleague, Plácido Domingo also recorded t ...
