 They can choose to use these materials literally, imitating their sounds, as when Sergei Prokofiev uses an oboe for the quacking of a duck in "Peter and the Wolf"; it may represent the birds symbolically; or it may give a general impression, as when Vivaldi paints a picture of birds moving and singing in "The Four Seasons".An early example of a composition that imitates birdsong is the "realistic" cuckoo in Janequin's 16th century "Le Chant Des Oiseaux".Among twentieth-century composers, Olivier Messiaen used birdsong extensively.
