Nightingale Serenade


Nightingale Serenade by André Rieu is a classical instrumental piece in the key of C major. The composition was written by Dutch composer, Jacob de Haan. This song is often played by André Rieu and his Johann Strauss Orchestra during their concerts. It is known for its graceful and enchanting melody, which beautifully captures the serenade of a nightingale. A delightful fact about this piece is that it was inspired by a real nightingale that Jacob de Haan encountered while sitting in his garden.
