Composed by Jordan Ricks. Octavo. Duration 2 minutes, 34 seconds. BriLee Music #BL1295. Published by BriLee Music (CF.BL1295).

UPC: 672405012027. Key: C major. English. Adapted from Arthur O'Shaughnessy's "Ode" with additional lyrics by Jordan Ricks.

The rousing text of Arthur O’Shaughnessy’s Ode is the basis for the text of this piece.  The opening line of O’Shaughnessy’s Ode pays an exuberant homage to musicians, artists, and creative types with a text that is driven by alliteration, rhyme and syncopation. The spirit of the artist can bring about glorious achievements, and this piece speaks to the splendor of making music, the power of song and hope for the future.The syncopation could best be taught by rote, as the text supports the rhythm. The echoing phrases mirror the original melody almost exactly, with only small variations. The flowing and rhythmic accompaniment drives the singers forward. The limited range should comfortably accommodate younger voices and changing voices alike. .
