Hope Is the Thing with Feathers [level: Easy]
Kenney Potter: Bio and other works

voicing: SATB | catalog number: SBMP 1017 | duration: 2:30 | price: $2.15
accompaniment: a cappella

A clever, upbeat rhythmic pattern mirrors the sentiment of the text as it “never stops at all” except for a few moments of mid-song reflection with the poem’s final thought: “It never asked a crumb of me.” Fun and inspiring, this piece would provide a special highlight for a concert. Also available for SA

"Simply love this song. Great dynamics and flow. Also loved "Galilee" and will try both with my church choir. Had a brief look& listen. Found quite a few of your 'easy' marked materials wrongly classified and should be at least 'medium' in challenge. Will return to site for a more in-depth search"
