A warm arpeggiated piano begins this lush new concert work for mixed as well as women's voices. Using the thought-provoking words of Georgia Douglas Johnson (1880-1966) harmonic richness begins right from the start and beautifully interprets the text lifting the dreamer and singer in all of us.

William Schuman's setting of a poem by Genevieve Taggard takes as its theme the necessity of simple pleasures and the importance of each person. This version is for upper voices. The song is in a loose rondo form and the music alternates between the main jerky almost angry music and the smooth but still precise middle section with its growing self-belief.
