"Flee as a Bird" is one of those rare hymns that seems to have slipped quietly through the cracks of history — and yet, for those who know it, it carries an almost uncommon beauty. Written by Mary Dana Shindler in the nineteenth century, this gentle plea for refuge and grace deserves far more attention than it typically receives. This piano solo arrangement sets out to give it exactly that.
Contemplative and tender in character, this setting allows the melody to unfold with unhurried grace, shaped by voicings that honour the hymn's fragile, searching quality. There is a stillness to this arrangement — the kind that draws the listener in rather than demanding their attention.
For the pianist looking to offer something truly distinctive — a piece that will move and surprise those who hear it — this is a rare and rewarding find.
What's included:
— Fully notated piano score (3 pages, PDF instant download)
— Suitable for advanced intermediate pianists
— Ideal for worship, reflective, or memorial settings
