Atmospheric, stable in Bethlehem, the dove hears the new-born cry and remembers bringing a sprig of green as a sign of peace and now God’s promise is renewed. Hymn-like in parts, some unison passages. A minor, moving to A major on “renewed”. Three tempo changes.

Bouncy 6/8 rhythm, some 2/4, an intro with altos singing on “p’ng”, the sound of the spring in the boots. Each verse he jumps higher till he goes to the moon and never comes back.
Original music and lyrics by Elizabeth Curtis.
Two kids argue over a toy. Mother suggests King Solomon’s solution. Through-composed, dramatic ‘statements” and pauses.
