The voice is lyrical and theatrical, with spoken words andhumming, as well as singing. The accompaniment implicates solidity, predictability,strength of the nature of God; but also wonderment, freedom and being light-hearted.The composer chose to title this song using a line in the poem, rather than the mostused title — which begins the cycle of key elements of the poem used to title andcomprise songs 2 and 3 — thereby placing importance as Cummings recited.2. of life and of love and wings, is more lyrical and lighter in nature than song #1. This song emphasis God’s creations, and seemingly joy He displayed while creating them, giving them wings of freedom for life and love.3. unimaginable You, is more reflective, using a modal tone — all to emphasize thereactions of Cummings to the wonderment and magnitude of God.  He concludes with:(and now the ears of my ears awake andnow the eyes of my eyes are opened)Also please note: The price includes permission to make two copies of the pdf.
