The text is from Robert Louis Stevenson’s 1885 A Child’s Garden of Verses. The Choir begins by emulating the sound of the wind, and then sings directly to the wind, describing the many things the wind does while questioning just who or what the wind is.

Premiere performance by the 2016 OAKE National Children's Choir, Elizabeth Núñez, director.
