This song is inspired by a poem by Jacques Prévert (Pour faire le portrait d'un oiseau) in a singing English version by the composer.
Prévert indicates that you can never capture the real essence of a bird. You can paint a cage, a tree branch for it to sing on, but you have to wait for the actual bird itself to enter your painting - only then can you sign your painting, using a feather from that bird.The music has a Dorian feel - ie with a minor third and seventh but often with a raised sixth.
