Commissioned for Helen Kemp and the Children's Choir Festival celebrating her 90th birthday, this anthem pays tribute to Helen's signature philosophy for beautiful singing: "Body, mind, spirit, voice, it takes the whole person to sing and rejoice!" A sprightly melody along with a sparkling piano and flute accompaniment genuinely capture Helen's contagious enthusiasm for children and music. Melodic and textual repetition makes the piece easy to learn, helping it remain in the hearts of children for years to come.
