"Hope" is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul
And sings the tune without the words
And never stops - at all
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm
I've heard it in the chillest land
And on the strangest Sea
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.
Emily Dickinson's famous poem about hope served as the inspiration for this concert march for young musicians. As
Dickinson describes hope as a beautiful, feathered creature that perches within us and sings unwaveringly, this march is
inherently melodic but just as unrelenting as this wondrous songbird is described to be. I certainly hope the energy and
persistence of this tune will match the unrelenting spirit of you and your ensemble!
