The composer has cleverly set the poem by William Blake. The piece opens with the flute joyfully piping. The choir enters as the voice of the piper. The piper encounters a child who requests "Pipe a song about a lamb" -- a unison treble choir becomes the voice of the child. And so the drama continues to unfold as the flute continues its merry tune throughout. Flute and Treble parts available as a free download.
