Description
Presenting a simple conflict between humanity and nature, Robert Frost’s poem, A Minor Bird, is musically set in 6/8 meter. With an agitated piano accompaniment under sweeping vocal lines, the composition mimics the person’s frustration and the fluttering of a bird’s wings as it is shooed away. There is a change of heart in the final lyric of “who would want to silence any song?” creating an engaging work for discussion, learning and performance.
