There are lots of works whose titles are birds’ names in flute repertoire. This thesis focuses on 3 works based on compositions of bird calls. They are：Concerto in D major（op. 10/3, “Il Gardellino”）, composed by Antonio Vivaldi（1678-1741）, Nightingale serenade for flute and piano（op.447）,composed by Wilhelm Popp（1828-1903）, and the second movement of Sonata for flute and piano“La Flûte de Pan”（Op.15）, composed by Jules Mouquet（1867-1946）.

Although these three works are composed in different eras, the titles of them are all relative to birds’ names. This thesis analyzes how composers use flute to imitate bird calls. It consists of three parts: the first part begins with introduction on the repertoire, including the composers’ experiences, backgrounds and repertoire analysis. The second part summarizes bird calls of these three repertoire. The last part explains the similarities of bird calls music and the differences in their techniques of interpretations.

In conclusion, this thesis points out that, by using specific performance skills, the composers imitate bird calls with flute. We hope this thesis could provide great help to the future performances of bird calls music and then inspire more excellent interpretations.
