We insert studies of people, places and things into a fun learning tool. Sometimes the information in songs is fictional, sometimes, based on fact. The story of Isaac Newton, one of the greatest physicists, and the apple tree is a legend, but holds some truth. Certainly, Isaac Newton is credited with theories of gravity, mass and motion, concepts that are still supported in the study of physics today. Choir students will enjoy telling this story, adding a little drama, here and there, while learning a bit of history and science. This might even guide them to do further research. The accompaniment can be simple or a little more complicated, based on the availability of an accompanist. Leave out some notes if you must. The students and audience will still enjoy the rockin’ beat. The upper voice (soprano) melody can be performed in unison, but a harmony part (alto) is included, if desired.

Imagine the Future, Space Travel 2.0, a work for 2-part Treble Choir, encourages students to imagine what impact the future of space flight and exploration will have on our lives. I remember watching the lunar landing on my little black and white TV screen in 1969. Yes, I’m that old. My imagination and awe soared as I considered changes that would happen as a result. Fast forward to 2022. We have a space station that has been orbiting the Earth since the year 2000, continuously occupied with astronauts and scientists. We have multiple telescopes, surpassing our galaxy, sending photos and information back to Earth. We have rovers on Mars. We are sending civilians into space on privately owned rockets! The future is bright. Enjoy the simplicity of initial harmonies and melodies that become increasingly complex as this music for choir develops to an exciting climax, ending in luscious chords that emphasize the wonderment of space.

This song was generated from an arts integration project for sixth graders that included music, physics, history, literature, and visual art. Students were studying the physics of flight in science class, and they were able to collaborate with scientists and astronauts from the Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, KS. The collaboration included video meetings about space flight, which helped students compose songs, a script, and scenery for an original musical. Research included the history of flight in the United States, particularly the work of Wilbur and Orville Wright. Students helped compose the lyrics for Wish That I Could Fly in class, and the melodies were inspired by the words. The triplet rhythm helps create motion throughout. Perpetual motion in the piano accompaniment represents the flow and fluctuation of air currents, supporting the lyrics, which describe various ways to fly.
