Schram & Celsie Staggers. There is innocence
and optimism in the way children view the world;
this inspiring original captures the essence of
their delight and wonder. Beginning with the

culminates in the warm satisfaction of day's
end. We are encouraged to dream the dreams
that children dream: dreams of hope, happiness,
peace and security. This is a wonderful signature
piece, filled with lovely melody and sonorous
harmony. Its message speaks to everyone, young
and old. Highly recommended!

H Fairest LadyNick Page. This gentle lullaby
based on a nursery rhyme uses London Bridge Is
Falling Down as a descant over a soothing original
melody and accompaniment. The peaceful moment

rather it will fly away. Sensitive and touching.

unison sound, these activities will
help singers build the foundation for
singing in multiple parts in the future.
