for SA and piano
Commissioned by the English Montreal School Board Chorale for its 40th anniversary, Be like the bird sets an English translation of a text by Victor Hugo. Quartel uses lyrical melodies and rising sequences that reflect the uplifting message of the words, supported by a glittering piano accompaniment. A passage from the original French text is set to the same melody, before interweaving with the English text as a countermelody.
