The Birds is a setting of a poem by Hilaire Belloc for SSATB choir. It is suitable as a short concert item throughout the Christmas season. Its use in liturgy might pose a challenge for some - certainly the apocryphal writings are not found in the liturgy of the Church, although the parents of Mary - Joachim and Anne - firmly placed in Christian hagiography, are not mentioned in the canonical gospels, but instead are named in the apocryphal Protevangelium of James. However, in this poem, the infant Christ gives life to his creation, blesses his followers and assures us of Paradise - there is much to offer the worshipper in this unassuming, yet powerful, text. Feeley sets this for unaccompanied choir using lush harmonies and a reflective, hypnotic melody line.
