Rhythmic and joyful! A great new concert, contest, or festival piece for mixed concert choirs with piano accompaniment. The text is a call to action for all humankind to embrace that which is best and most noble in society. The poet describes birds as spiritual creatures that fly and reside near the boundary between physical and heavenly worlds, while the composer paints the poetry symbolically in the music to portray humankind striving for freedom, as the birds continue to “carry storylines” through generations into the best future possible…“Is not the future in song?” A unique and thought-provoking work!

Song has a bird for rhythm
Song lives in blue sky
Birds never abandon song
Song birds who carry story lines from our hands
Birds who record their symphonies in the seeds of days to come
Song is the rhythm of the wind
Song birds who carry story lines from our hands
Birds who record their symphonies in the seeds of days to come
The high seas of nostalgia
Song runs through the veins
Beats in the ground of words
Song has a bird for rhythm
Song lives in blue sky
Birds never abandon song
Is not the future in song?

Michel Khalil Helayel (translated by Laura Cerven)
