Based on Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s words, “Kind hearts are the garden,” Ruth Elaine Schram and Aren Newell Williams have written text and melody perfect for taking learning into life! A step-based melody, makes this ideal for learning and feeds clearly into the harmonized portion of the piece. A clever use of repeated melodic and rhythmic pattern ensures that singers will leave rehearsal singing not only the melody but also the message of this piece. A vibrant, poetic text full of imagery and metaphor opens opportunities for interdisciplinary learning (Language Arts, Science, Visual Arts). Available in 2-part treble or 3-part mixed/SAB voicing.
