Birds Aria
Sometimes I woke up to a singing of birds
at a dawn in the mountain house in Karuizawa.
The night creature’s nocturne is ends
by the sound of early birds.
I wonder what time it is.
The birds start corresponding to each other
around four in the morning.
Karuizawa is the place for ealy birds.
There are not much night life going on around here.
I wake up in one morning
to this particular birds singing.
it goes,
『Largo al factotom al della citta, Largo!』
That is the Figaro’s song sung by Robin Williams
in the opening scene of the movie “Mrs Doubtfire”.
Recalling I heard a news of him passed away
in the Rachel Maddow show,
when I was walking mountain path home in Karuizawa
one Summer at sundown.
The birds pitch is not exactly the same as
the song but it is close enough to my ear.
Once I aknowledged the bird singing the song,
I just hear the song in it no matter what.
This is the music chart.
The bird sing at the first four bars.
The song is called Largo al factotom
from the Opera “The Barber of Seville”
I remember the story of French composer Olivier Messiaen
who once came here and took down birds tweets
in the music notation walking through the bird sanctuary
guided by the area’s landowner and
the bird lover Kasuke Hpshino.
I have been searching for the bird in Youtube.
No luck so far.
Is it Wren?
Or Thrush?
Listen for the bird song in the mountain.
You may hear the Figaro too.
Let me know if you find out about the bird.
