Rainforest Requiem

The atmosphere of a day in the Amazonian rain forest. Recorded in Columbia by Richard Ranft, curator of the Wildlife Section of the National Sound Archive. The material is edited to present the sequence of wildlife activity in a typical day - from the frogs and insects of the pre-dawn darkness, the bird and monkey activity of the morning, the building tension before the afternoon thunderstorm to the frogs and birds that lead the evening chorus into the darkness again. Richard's notes outline what is happening and identify the main vocalists. (With CD track ID numbers for cross-reference).
