It’s a beautiful, wonderful world,A world of wonder for all to share;Let us walk together, hand in hand,Spreading peace and friendship throughout the land…Inspired by a visit to botanical gardens in California, this song is intended to reflect the beauty of nature around us, and to suggest that we should live in harmony, breaking through the barriers that can so often divide us.In its simplest form it is a unison song, which can be performed by a community chorus or a children’s choir, but optional harmony (SATB) is given in places for a more advanced group - although this is fairly simple, even though it requires some divisi. There is a reprise of the first verse, a tone higher, with an optional descant.

This is a much more reflective version, for choir and orchestra, given its first performance by the Nidarosdomens Guttekor in the splendid setting of Trondheim Cathedral in December 2017. They also performed the piece on their pre-Christmas tour, using just organ for accompaniment.The setting may be performed effectively with piano or organ accompaniment, but the orchestral score and parts may be obtained from Swirly Music (ref. GTT-30B)  or direct from the composer (gtbham@me.com). Note that there are subdivisions in places.There is also a video of the performance at Trondheim Cathedral, with orchestral accompaniment - please copy and paste the following link: https://youtu.be/m8cU2u9eBqo.
