“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. ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less

And The Wind
There is an awesome beauty found in sailing
Through black of night upon The open sea,
Your vessel mauled by unseen waves and trailing
Her phosphorescent wake, as steadily,
She plows into The darkness,
And The Wind.

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. The piece, inspired by Kodály’s philosophy, develops a folk-like melody in a modern context. The rhythmic piano accompaniment keeps The piece bouncing brightly until its exciting conclusion. Premiere performance by The 2016 OAKE National Children's Choir, Elizabeth Núñez, director.
The Wind
by Robert Louis Stevenson
I saw you toss The kites on high
And blow The birds about The sky;
And all around I heard you pass,
Like ladies' skirts across The grass—
O Wind, a-blowing all day long,
O Wind, that sings so loud a song!
I saw The different things you did,
But always you yourself you hid.
I felt you... ink" href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='none';">less
