Choral setting of Hallie Geier, a cappella, SATB Commissioned and performed by the
Manhattan Choral Ensemble,
Thomas Cunningham, Music Director


A setting of a delightful poem by my niece, Hallie Geier, displaying a child’s imagination at work, with painterly images and soaring lines in both words and music.

Lyrics

Birds pour like molasses

Out of trees

In the morning.

They soar

Over my head

Then dip down

And I wish I could.

 

Apple red,

Sky blue,

Grass green.

 

I wish

I was a bird.

Birds look at me

With beady eyes full of freedom.
