When the Hawk Comes (Armenia) by Lilia Li-Mi-Yan, Katherina Sadovsky

5m 58s

The plot and melody of an Armenian lullaby are taken as a starting point, where a mother tries to calm her son by offering to make a symbolic choice of a destiny bird. The boy does not choose peaceful birds, nightingale, or magpie. His predictable choice is a warlike hawk.
