All My Heart Shall Sing with Joy—Greg Gilpin.
An exciting original piece that portrays the joy that
we feel in our hearts when we experience and share
our gifts of music! Shifting rhythmic patterns, joyous
melodies and an energized accompaniment create
a festival-type setting of this accessible piece. A
lyrical, expressive middle section sets up a beautiful
contrast which resolves once again into a dynamic
closing section. A wonderful way to both advocate
for music and present a festive concert work for
young choirs! Highly recommended!

rain!" The "drip-drop" piano part sets the scene for

block and triangle complete the picture. This is
simply delightful!
