Publisher Desc.  A beautiful new setting of William Henry Davies' poem Songs of Joy for divisi chorus, flute, oboe, horn, harp, organ, violin, and cello. The text centers on a theme of contentment with nature and one's current state of being, rather than focusing on what one does not possess. From the darkness of greed and death to the delicate flight of a songbird beneath a rainbow's arch, Songs of Joy is a meaningful and dynamic work that will encourage reflection and introspection from performers and audience members alike. The piano reduction and choral scores may be performed as SATB and Piano alone.
