Whistling

I was looking on the Wikipedia page for whistling because I was wondering if there was anyone who whistled “seriously” as music. I have heard it done occasionally, by the Avett Brothers (I think) and probably some others, but it seemed to have a sense of informality to it. On the other hand, Alice J Shaw, the famous whistler around the late 19th/early 20th centuries, whistles in an orchestral setting:



Others too—I am tired of staring at this screen though!

I have seen some movies where whistling is part of a scene.

I cant think of the names of those movies so I asked.

These are not the ones I was thinking about:

Whistling in Dixie and Whistling in Brooklyn, both with Red Skelton.

I don't have sound so I could not listen to this one:

Breakfast Club:

Roger Whittaker had at least three whistling songs. Most talented whistler I have ever encountered, not a bad singer either. Bit soft for my tastes but my parents loved all his music. As for movies, The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) has a very good whistled version of The Colonel Bogey March. Will not post them, but the WWII alternative lyrics they were implying are a hoot. Changes the whole meaning of that scene when you know.
