I have given this song the sub-title: "A Crazy Choral Etude for Rolled Rs and Perfect 5ths." It is meant, no pun intended, to be a musical lark, great fun for a choir to sing, rolling Rs like crazy, with no holding back. NB: One day I woke up to the realization that I had independently written four choral works, each of which had evoked a different season, and so it seemed natural to group them together into a choral suite that I have called "The Ottawa Four Seasons Suite." "Let's sing, it's Spring!", with its rousing coda section, works perfectly as the closing number of this suite. Also of note, in early 2018, I applied to be a participant at one of the Vancouver Chamber Choir's Interplay workshops funded by the SOCAN Foundation and to my delight I was accepted. "Let's sing, it's Spring!" was one of the pieces that this Amazing choir sight read for me on the sp...    less

Performed by the Concert Choir ensemble of the Girl Choir of South Florida on May 18, 2012, at All Saints Episcopal Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Soloist: Grace Ferrelli, Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Gayle Giese. Text: The sun slowly sets, Goes down for the night. All the little children are sleeping. All except for one, The child with the starry crayon. As the sun sets, she slowly ... Yawns ... stretches ... and gets out of bed. She floats up to sit on the moon ... To draw on the fresh piece of black paper. She doodles all night. Some earth people watch her, As she draws the constellations.  less
