Judith Herrington : Tecolote

Sponsored by the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, this folk song is from a collection of native songs from the area. The singer envies the owl who has wings and can visit a loved one. The beauty of the folk song is in its earthy melody, and Judith Herrington has added a youthful innocence with her playful arrangement.

Judith Herrington : Tengo Tengo Tengo

Sponsored by the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, this folk song is from a collection of songs native to the area. Tengo translates as I have but what the song is really saying is I have plenty. It is a playful children's folk song which teases a neighbor in sharing the animals' I have and what they produce, compared to the neighbor who has nothing. Judith Herrington has arranged it delightfully for 2-part voices with an entertaining piano accompaniment.

Judith Herrington : The Night Will Never Stay

Though you bind it to the blowing wind and you buckle it to the moon, the night will slip away like a sorrow or a tune. The poetry of Eleanor Farjeon is so evocative, and Judith Herrington knows just how to set it for young voices to sing. This is a beautiful song for concert or festival use.
