Maya Angelou's 'I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings' set to a simple tune

[jasonsiwek]

Thanks for sharing, I am using this in my classroom because you did an amazing job of turning poetry into music.

you should send this to maya angelou! I thought the same thing--- a lot of her poems are written like songs.

Thank you NewOrleansWoman. Glad so many people seem to like it. Always a challenge to do justice to an already well-loved poem or song. Cheers!

I love Maya Angelou! what an amazing woman. Her works have so much soul. You did a very good job portraying the meaning.

[AmnestyBusker]

Thank you! I tried to make the chord at the end sound a bit like birdsong, too...

[Voileen]

gorgeous. This is one of my favorite poems (and books!) The tune is just really lovely.

[AmnestyBusker]

I always liked the poem too; simple, unpretentious, from the heart.

Thanks for your comment. It does make a difference when people take a few minutes to write when they like something. Confirms it was worth the effort! Cheers.

This is awesome! never heard it like this before and i think you did an amazing job!

[AmnestyBusker]

Cheers! I'm surprised I've not been able to find any other versions set to music -- seemed like too good an opportunity to miss. Thanks for your feedback.

Glenn.
