Few melodies are more beautiful or instantly recognizable than the Beatle’s beloved, “Blackbird” … but how do broken wings learn to fly? In Blackbird Set Free, Fannin Musical Productions has interwoven the Beatle’s timeless melody with the work of Bach, Sia, and Stravinsky to answer that question, depicting the inspirational moment when the bird arises like a phoenix from the ashes. Featuring a fun musical book filled with opportunities to highlight your best players and an elegant, impactful visual design Blackbird Set Free will move students, audiences, and judges alike.
