For SATB Voices and Piano with opt. Orchestra
Words and Music by Sy Miller and Jill Jackson
Arranged by Jay Rouse
This multigenerational arrangement of the famous song is crafted to blend a children's choir and an adult choir. The delicate opening by the children's choir begins in unison, then splits into two easy-to-sing parts before leading into a power crescendo where the children are joined by full SATB scoring. In a suspenseful moment, the arrangement relaxes into a quiet, touching ending with a children's solo singing the final phrase.
