Performed by the Concert Choir ensemble of the Girl Choir of South Florida on May 18, 2012, at All Saints Episcopal Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Soloist: Grace Ferrelli, Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Gayle Giese. Text: The sun slowly sets, Goes down for the night. All the little children are sleeping. All except for one, The child with the starry crayon. As the sun sets, she slowly ... Yawns ... stretches ... and gets out of bed. She floats up to sit on the moon ... To draw on the fresh piece of black paper. She doodles all night. Some earth people watch her, As she draws the constellations.  less

Assistant Director: Jorge Valls, Accompanist: Gayle Giese. In the quiet misty morning, when the moon has gone to bed, When the sparrows stop their singing and the sky is clear and red, When the summer's ceased its gleaming, when the corn is past its prime, When adventure's lost its meaning, I'll be homeward bound in time. Bind me not to the pasture. Chain me not to the plow. Set me free to find my calling and I'll return to you somehow. If you find it's me you're missing, if you're hoping I'll return, To your thought I'll soon be list'ning; in the road I'll stop and turn. Then the wind will set me racing as my journey nears its end, And the path I'll be retracing when I'm homeward bound again. Bind me not to the pasture. Chain me not to the plow. Set...    less
