Description
Gray's engaging setting of the Ella Wheeler Wilcox text is an excellent choice for concert, festival or music-themed performances. It is an upbeat response to the inevitable periods of sadness and strife that are part of the human experience. At those times when words are not enough, the song exuberantly begs, Sing to me! Sing to me!, expressing the power of music to heal the heart and touch the soul. The brisk energy of the accompaniment complements the memorable melodic lines, harmonies, and interesting dynamic contrasts. Teaching opportunities abound in this exceptional original for treble or mixed developing choirs.
