Randy Stonehill's familiar and well-known song sounds and feels as if it has always been a part of the folk song or spiritual genre. This a cappella setting uses optional percussion and is designed for easy learning to create an atmosphere of musical accomplishment, especially for smaller and younger choruses. Repetition is a key component but the addition of solo opportunities, key changes and a creative B section lifts this to a level that will appeal to choirs of all sizes and experience. A wonderful programming choice that will become a favorite year after year.

A gentle piano accompaniment with oboe accompanies this concert work for 2-part and 3-part mixed voices. Sara Teasdale's text of a cloud in the heaven's height, the stars are lit for my delight is a delightful metaphor for children to sing and explore both textually and musically. Johnson's setting uses a lovely melody with simple harmonies and slight divisi for young singers.

Composer: Victor C. Johnson

Gilpin never disappoints in finding the rhythmic charm and humor of the American folk song, especially for young singers. Beginning with an intro of the phrase Uh-hum, he leads us to the familiar melody and text, but combining many verses to create the story in a faster pace. Vocal lines add additional text-painting and there's even a rap or vocal speech section! A big uh-hum when programming this American folk song on your next concert.
