Gardener of the World [level: Medium]
Philip E. Silvey: Bio and other works

voicing: SA | catalog number: SBMP 1042 | duration: 2:45 | price: $2.15
accompaniment: piano

The whimsical poem by Robert Louis Stevenson has been cleverly arranged for young singers. With a vibrant piano part that suggests one won‚Äôt go to sleep while traveling to the ‚ÄúLand of Nod,‚Äù the mostly unison piece with all its inherent drama will be great fun to sing.

The three Robert Louis Stevenson settings can be performed as a set as follows:
I. Gardener of the World
II. The Land of Nod
III. By the Light of the Moon

“Summer Sun,” the Robert Louis Stevenson poem of this piece, has the sun finding its way into all the nooks and crannies of the world below. The music offers sprightly treatment befitting a bright, pleasant day. In unison, or with two melodies working in tandem, and occasionally with 2-part harmony, this is an enjoyable piece to sing.
