Flee as a Bird is based on a 19th century hymn. After a brief intro, the hymn is stated, and then the rest of the piece contains variations on the hymn theme. As you near the end, be sure to gradually crescendo, leaving the very loudest section to be the ending section. This is the most dramatic part.
