This is a beautiful song by American songwriter Jimmy Webb, who took the title from a 1966 science fiction novel by Robert A Heinlein. The subject is sad, with a feeling of underlying depression, but the melody is sublime.  This version, for SA, has some occasional harmonies to colour the mood.

This fun and catchy blues adapts the poem, Bed In Summer, by Robert Louis Stevenson from his work, A Child's Garden of Verses. The text speaks from the perspective of a child lamenting an early bedtime during the long days of summer. Kids will enjoy singing the light and jaunty melody, and grown-ups in the audience are sure to giggle!

No permissions are required to use nor adapt the works of Robert Louis Stevenson.

This setting of Robert Louis Stevenson's poem, The Wind, from A Child's Garden of Verses, is composed for two-part SA treble chorus with piano accompaniment. The extended tonal harmonies ask students to hear and resolve suspended and non-chord pitches within easily accessible thirds and sixths, while Part I can help develop range for the higher voices.  In terms of text, Stevenson’s poem provides mature lyrics for young musicians as well as an opportunity for cross-discipline literary learning.  A current and respected choral director who reviewed the piece referred to the piano accompaniment as fun to play and varied nicely.  In response to the piece as a whole, she also said, I do think the young choral world can use more challenging pieces..
