A
folk-like setting of Maya
Angelou's empowering
poem, which compares a
bird's longing to be
liberated with that of
all people. Hayes chooses
a minor key with plenty
of harmonic tension and a
walking tempo that
suggests the footsteps of
those who have come
before. The final Picardy
third is the ultimate
symbol of freedom. This
is the second movement
from the song cycle Like
Dust I Rise.
