CGE704 I Sing A Song of the Mockingbird
Description
I Sing a Song of the Mockingbird marks an impressive debut from new composer Thomas Hemminger, delivering a brilliantly crafted work for unison and two-part choirs. A memorably lingering melody, accessible harmonies, and an elegantly simple structure make this an ideal choice for developing ensembles, while a cleverly set second verse in canon adds a delightful layer of musical discovery and fun. A bright, energetic piano accompaniment drives the piece forward with infectious warmth, and an optional Flute part weaves in and out with playful, bird-like charm- perfectly capturing the free-spirited, singing nature of the mockingbird itself.
