Wind (SAB)
"Wind" is a level 2+ SAB setting of the Amy Lowell poem of the same name. It originally was part of the collection "Moment Immortal". Colla Voce Music so wonderfully accepted the piece for publication and the scores can be purchased through them. If you wish to purchase Wind, click the link below.
In Lowell's poem wind is a metaphor for the people that will "blow through" ones life. While all winds from all directions are so different, one can like each one "the best".

Wind - Amy Lowell
He shouts in the sails of the ships at sea,
He steals the down from the honeybee,
He makes the forest trees rustle and sing,
He twirls my kite till it breaks its string.
Laughing, dancing, sunny wind,
Whistling, howling, rainy wind,
North, South, East and West,
Each is the wind I love the best.
He calls up the fog and hides the hills,
He whirls the wings of the great windmills,
The weather vanes love him and turn to know
His whereabouts -- but he's gone to rove.
Laughing, dancing, sunny wind,
Whistling, howling, rainy wind,
North, South, East and West,
Each is the wind I love the best.
