Back in high school youth orchestra, I recall playing a modern piece with
accompanying humpback whale calls piped in via speakers! It was a nifty
effect for about a dozen measures, but the music itself was rather
unimpressive. I don't recommend it, but does anyone happen to know what the
piece is called?

Could it have been John Tavener's "The Whale?"
