"Arrival of the Birds" goes beyond the commercially traced boundaries of contemporary music and it is the ideal form of relaxation, a good choice for all seasons days. The song inspires tranquility and a vibe of perseverance. Its instrumental mixture focuses on the piano and the constant theme of continuity.
Although, at its base, a song about Spring, "Arrival Of The Birds" seems to trace the melancholia of Autumn, the joy of Summer, the feeling resignation in Winter and the touch of rebirth in Spring, all in one piece.
It can be listened decades from now, just as it could have been listened decades ago, since the free Arrival Of The Birds piano sheet music is one of those timeless songs, as well as it's score that you can enjoy if you scroll down a bit.
