Portraying a rainbow as a bridge in the sky, leading to a wish come true, this lyrical song captures all the lovely imagery of the words in flowing melodic lines and colorful harmonies. "For just this once please reappear to whisper secrets in my ear. And then, perhaps, I'll surely know what lies beyond your pastel bow." Simply delightful for young voices!

Song of the Sparrow 

Two Part

Lyrics by John and Jillian Parker

J. W. Pepper Editor’s Choice 2010-2011


What a marvelous way to teach word painting through music! "She flits on the ground in the grassy glade in search of her morning food, and rummages through each leaf and blade, whistling her merry tune. La, fa, la, la, la, fa, la, la..." Very sweet and musical, with a lyrical, sensitive piano accompaniment and expressive dynamics, this is exceptional. Highly recommended!
