## Summary

Caged Bird choral octavo sheet music for TTBB choir, featuring text by Maya Angelou and music by Mark Hayes, with a cover illustration of a bird composed of smaller birds against a sky background.

## Description

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 .
