Carefully placed dynamics help create the mood and feel of this well-written piece and makes a beautiful selection for women as well as young treble singers.

Le Rossignol or the Nightingale is originally a vocalise for Soprano solo from Saint-Saen's incidental music for the play, Parysatis written in 1902. This 4-5 minute work is all about mood.

Mr. Sauer uses the original key of B-flat, which lays perfectly for all of the bird-like calls that are in phrases which are slurred. The music has a lot of ad lib. tempo sections which gives the performer plenty of time to create that magic call of the Nightingale. Early writers thought it was the female that sang, but in fact it is the male. The Nightingale usually sings at night or just before dawn when other birds are silent and has a strong spontaneous song with an impressive range of trills and whistles.

The music by Mr. Trojan for Trnkas's film The Emperor's Nightingale, of 1948, was so successful and musically autonomous that it was made by the composer not only into an orchestral suite but into a number of effective separate instrumental turns as well. Even this suite for violin, guitar and accordion has become highly popular.

For SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied The text for this part-song is a deftly chosen selection of lines from Keats' Ode to a Nightingale. Jackson's setting features many of his stylistic hallmarks: glissandi, melismas, aleatoric patterns, and solo lines that float above the texture. Highly attractive and suitable for summer concerts.
