H Come in from the Firefly DarknessAmy
Feldman Bernon. This exquisite work has a
haunting yet whimsical quality as it tells its story
from the viewpoint of a wanderer who has returned
home to share life's experiences, only to leave

the firefly darkness..." A beautifully poetic text, set
to shimmering music, this sings so naturally that
it will really let your voices soar! (The P/A CD is
compatible with the SATB, three-part mixed and
TBB editions; the SSA is in a different key.)
