   Carol of the Birds
Carol of the Birds Celebrate the Christmas season with this lesser known but beautiful carol. The tune of the French carol is set in two moods in this short, 34-measure selection. The opening section uses staccato technique on march-like rhythms for a strong statement in the key of c minor. The second section puts the tune in the middle with an eighth-note accompaniment pattern overhead that mimics the dip and soar pattern of birds.
