Publisher Desc.  Set to a sweet, original melody by Joanna Mills, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper's poem "The Crocuses" has been adapted into a moving song about the first flowers of spring and their love for Mother Earth. The entire song revolves around a repeated 4-chord progression which symbolizes the seasons, and builds slowly from beginning to end like the flowers themselves. Perfect for spring concerts, Easeter, Earth Day or Mother's Day, the piece is set in an accessible key for most voices and the simple piano score supports the choir, enabling even less experienced choirs to learn this arrangement easily. The Unison arrangement has an optional echo part at Section D. Approximate performance time 2:30.
