There are five stanzas in the whole song of "Birds in the Sky", and there are also introductions and endings. The introduction jumps into the large intervals of octaves, fifths, and fourths at a slow speed with decorative tones, just like the echoes of empty valleys, depicting a vague and quiet artistic conception. The music in the first and second paragraphs is fresh and lively, and the atmosphere is lively. The third, fourth, and fifth sections use various onomatopoeia techniques to create a vivid image, showing the sound of birds everywhere. The noisy scene of the scramble to fly expresses people's enthusiastic praise for the beautiful nature. The ending part reproduces a melody, and the last sentence adopts the ascending melody of the decomposed major chord, which is bright and powerful, expressing people's ardent pursuit of a better life.
