1. To Blossoms; 2. To Daffodils; 3. Gather ye Rosebuds. These three a cappella pieces share the theme of time, and the fragility of life – although the last one has a touch of humour at the end. I wrote “Gather ye Rosebuds” for the University of Michigan Women’s Glee Club a year or two ago, and have recently added the two other short piece to make up a set. They should be well within the capabilities of a good SSA choir. The running time for all three is approximately 6′ 30″.
