This song has been trying to get out for a LONG time. I wrote the poem about 3/4 years ago - and much of the melody shortly after - I read the poem for my parents' Golden Wedding because it would not cooperate.If someone says it is easy to set your own poems to music - I can tell you it is definitely NOT, unless the words and music come as one! So, after many puzzling attempts to make it into an accompanied solo song it suddenly dawned on me that it actually needed a choir to lift it for the occasion!
I have not indicated dynamic. I am usually more of a control freak, but having written both words and music, I wanted to leave something for the performers and I think it will be fairly natural.
For that very special occasion bound copies can be ordered from:
www.lulu.com/content/5364953
If ordering from lulu and using the economy delivery method, please allow up to 6 weeks delivery! In my experience 7-10 days is about average, but I am still waiting for some books I ordered over 4 weeks ago!
If you do perform it please ask me first and I would be extremely grateful for an MP3 recording if possible!
