Fairy Song

Fairy Song was written when I stumbled across this lovely text by Louisa May Alcott-- who is most well-known for authoring the classic book, "Little Women." I loved the imagery in the poem, and was also interested in the archaic interchange between "fairies" and "elves." Interestingly, I learned that the two were originally considered very much the same thing up until the mid-twentieth century! As a result, though, the piece could work just as well on a winter concert as any other event throughout the year. Fairy Song works equally well as a 2-Part or Unison piece.
