The whimsical poem by Robert Louis Stevenson has been cleverly arranged for young singers. With a vibrant piano part that suggests one won’t go to sleep while traveling to the “Land of Nod,” the mostly unison piece with all its inherent drama will be great fun to sing.
“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.
