Based on a text by American poet Eugene Field, Tim Winebrenner's adaptation of this story song explores range extension, phrasing, text stress (keyword and syllable) and breath support. With clearly defined 8-measure musical phrases, singers will learn to soar while singing this lovely, haunting melody. The 2nd part is optional and adds color to the harmonic structure if it suits the needs of the ensemble. An excellent choice for concert or festival performance.
