"Go to the edge of the cliff and jump off. Build your wings on the way down." This pithy and audacious advice from Ray Bradbury creates the backdrop for a sonic experience of jumping, falling, and flying. After the short lyric is spoken by a narrator, the chorus proceeds to tell this courageous story using only the phonetic sounds of the song's title: ""juh...uh...um...p."" An unforgettable depiction of one wild leap of faith!
NOTE: "Jump!" may be performed with either string quartet or piano accompaniment. If performing with string quartet, conductor uses the full score (SEA-090-00). If performing with piano, conductor may simply conduct from the choral score (SEA-090-04). Instrumental parts are available through Seafarer Press.
A FINAL NOTE: String players may wish to check out this great video in which cellist Jeremy Harman demonstrates how to play "chop bows": https://youtu.be/e99-LgaMvkk
