Product Description
In today's society, individuals tend to not fully appreciate the beauty in themselves and others. The world is full of loud voices that often send out mixed signals to our young people. This piece can help to start a conversation regarding true beauty, listening, and how music can assist in communicating this idea . The use of the major 2nd is meant to ask each chorister to "listen" and tune to create beauty within the dissonance.
The text is based on a quote by M. Aumonier:
There is always music amongst the trees in the garden, but our hearts must be very quiet to hear it.
"There is Music in the Garden" Full lyrics
There is music in the garden,
But we must be quiet to hear.
There is music among the trees in the garden.
But our hearts, but our hearts...
But our hearts must be very, very, quiet...
To hear it.
And if we do... if we do...
We can teach others to hear it too.
We can hear with our hearts.
Our hearts will be our ears.
We can hear with our hearts.
Our hearts will be our ears.
There is music in the garden,
But we must be quiet to hear.
We must be very, very quiet...
To hear... it.
A cappella choral SATB octavo (some divisi). 2:56.
