Background
editNightbird is a collection of rare and never before released recordings by Yanni, sparkles with imagination, flair and is sure to put a pulse in the bloodstream of even the casual listener. Being a skeptic, one will find a soothing yet orchestral wonder within the framework of each of Yanni's recordings.[3]
All songs except "Nightbird" have previously been released. Although the above is a quote from a review at AllMusic, the liner notes of the CD actually say the following: Nightbird: A Collection of Yanni favorites including "Chasing Shadows" and "Days of Summer".
"Chasing Shadows" is not included on the album. "Marching Season" is included at track 5 instead, and is listed as "Chasing Shadows" in the liner notes.
