The holidays are over so now we turn our sights on spring concerts. John Beeman’s Butterfly has a lovely text to encourage our young adult singers to let their inner selves shine. The piano plays a descriptive role. It does not double the vocal parts but does help with entrances. The combination of voices, piano and text makes this a work well worth performing.
Butterfly is available from JWPepper: http://www.jwpepper.com/10350238.item – .VoiqHPFTP8c
