Question
What is the music that is played in the Bugs Bunny cartoon, when morning comes, mother earth awakens. (chirping birds etc.)  Crazy question, but thanks for your help.

Answer
Adam,

I think the piece you are looking for is by Felix Mendelssohn (who also wrote one of the two most famous wedding marches).  He wrote a large number of piano pieces called "Songs Without Words."  This one is called "Frülingslied" (German for Morning Song).  It is also identified as Opus 62, No. 6, or just #30.

I hope this helps.
