She Sings...Amy Feldman Bernon. The
haunting, yet whimsical quality of this piece,
almost folk-like in nature, is truly refreshing! The
composer's lyrics center around a child who loves
to sing during the day while playing, and at night
"cries for those who have never loved and for those
who never sing." These words will stir the emotions
of all who hear them, and the lovely, flowing music
really lets them shine!
