Songs of Youth

These six short choral gems are a fantastic way to introduce and teach modes to choirs of all skill levels. Included are: Ladybug (G Mixolydian); When All the World Is Full of Snow (F Dorian); The Major (D Ionian); I Heard a Bird Sing (E Phrygian); Daylight Saving Time (B-flat Lydian); The Universe (D Aeolian). Each selection features a text by a different poet. The clever piano accompaniment clearly accentuates the mood of each unique movement. You need not feel compelled to perform all six pieces in one concert; they can be grouped to suit the needs of your choir. Have fun!
