#55: “KidSong” by Stephen Caldwell
SSA, piano

You may possibly look at the title for this piece, and assume it’s an elementary or children’s choir song – too childish for your adult women’s chorus, or your high school/college treble choir. Incorrect! The energy and drive of the mixed meter, along with the nostalgia of the children’s rhymes, make this an exciting, engaging piece for any women’s/treble choir, no matter their age.

“A Pavane for the Nursery” by Steven Sametz.

Text by William Jay Smith.

SSAA, a cappella.

As sit here watching my sleeping son, I am reminded of the beauty and the joy that comes from unconditional love. Sametz’ music and Smith’s text together put that feeling into existence as a song, and I look forward to introducing the piece to my choirs.
