A longer, festive edition of the Wednesday morning singing, this time focused on the birds that flutter through the Danish folk high school songbook. Birds appear in at least one song in every third entry, yet many of the species celebrated in the songbook are now classed as extinct or threatened.
Historian and songbook enthusiast Mikkel Skovgaard leads a singing talk that moves through Denmark's bird population, looking at how the songbook's species fare today, both on the page and in the wild. Some of the native species are doing better than their reputation suggests, and they may well deserve a song of their own.
