CoverThe Castle Builder [level: Medium]
Susan LaBarr: Bio and other works
voicing: SATB | catalog number: SBMP 1175 | duration: 4:08 | price: $2.90
accompaniment: piano 4 hands
INSTRUMENT PART: piano 4 hands - FREE Download


Longfellow’s poem, with its challenging message to young people to “Build on, and make thy castles high and fair,” marches to great music here. The dramatic 4-hand piano part artistically sets the pace for the well-crafted vocal parts. This is highly recommended for large choirs.

A gentle boy, with soft and silken locks,
A dreamy boy, with brown and tender eyes,
A castle-builder, with his wooden blocks,
And towers that touch imaginary skies.

A fearless rider on his father’s knee,
An eager listener unto stories told
At the Round Table of the nursery,
Of heroes and adventures manifold.

There will be other towers for thee to build;
There will be other steeds for thee to ride;
There will be other legends, and all filled
With greater marvels and more glorified.

Build on, and make thy castles high and fair,
Rising and reaching upward to the skies;
Listening to voices in the upper air,
Nor lose thy simple faith in mysteries.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
