Bird of Hope

Description

• Composer: Kevin Nicoletti
• Lyricist: Ella Wheeler Wilcox
• Publisher: Santa Barbara Music Publishing

The Ella Wheeler Wilcox poem suggests the bird of hope not soar too high or sing too loud. Taking heed, the composer created much downward movement in the piano accompaniment, while allowing the singers to take some risks, both high and somewhat loud. This charming piece offers great melodic interest in the vocal lines.
