Flowers in Heaven, a charming little song written specifically for Mother’s Day or for general purpose as a solo or duet, tenderly expresses a very sweet message: “There are gardens up in heaven that are planted with our seeds. They grow in hills and valleys that are free of thorns and weeds. Every little act of kindness, happy thoughts and cheerful deeds, will blossom in the gardens if we send the Lord the seeds. We can plant flowers in heaven; seeds that grow in colors of the rainbow. We can plant flowers in heaven by the love we show.”

Mama Never Forgets Her Birds

SAB, piano
Mama Never Forgets Her Birds
Emily Dickenson’s poems have been my constant companions and inspiration for decades. I set seven of her poems to songs for soprano voice and piano and have used three others for choral pieces.
A few years ago I needed a Mother’s Day piece for the choir that I was conducting in Arizona. I wanted words that weren’t overly sentimental, and couldn’t find anything that I liked. I finally decided to see if Emily Dickinson had a poem that I could set to music. When I found Mama Never Forgets Her Birds the melody came to me almost immediately, and the song called to out be set in a slow blues style. I have made two arrangements of the piece, one for SAB and piano and the other for SAB, piano and clarinet. Mary Lou Prince
This recording is heard as Solo Soprano, Clarinet and Piano.

Teach Me to Walk in the Light (SATB – Leavitt, John)
Teach Me to Walk in the Light – John C. Leavitt, arranger
This setting of “Teach Me to Walk In the Light” has a lot of childlike heart to it. The harmonies are fresh and rich, but the humility of the text remains the most important element. The final verse, which is sung a cappella, is a prayer that is to be sung freely and earnestly. Although at times this arrangement may tend to be dramatic, it is my hope that it will always be sung with simplicity and honesty.

When I Think of You
Daniel Carter
Vocal Solo
When I Think of You
When I Think of You – Daniel Carter, composer
Vocal solo for medium range voice and piano expressing gratitude for parents from a perspective of becoming one. Especially suitable for Mother’s and Father’s Day. Composer Daniel Carter wrote this song after a conversation with his daughter who said to him on his birthday, “I just want you to know I get it. I understand now what it means to be a parent, to worry, to love, to make everything in your life about your children. And I can’t thank you and love you enough for what you’ve done.”
When I was just a child you sat and read to me,
And told me I could do most anything,
Told me be anything that my heart could dream.
It made me smile.
And so I grew and learned, and as I claimed my life,
My stubborn will divided you and I,
And all those words we said were sometimes filled with strife,
And we would cry.
Sunny days could turn to rainy days
When I would storm around when I didn’t get my way.
Sunny days along with rainy days
Can give new meaning to our lives and reason for our ways.
The little notes you wrote that brought those happy smiles,
The pranks you pulled denying all the while,
The endless times that I thought I knew better than you,
How wrong I…
I understand now the sacrifice you made,
How hard it was to do all of the things you did.
I understand now how easy hurt is dealt,
How slow the healing till no more sting is felt.
And when I think of you, I think of sunny days,
The kind that come when rain has gone away,
The kind like when you kissed my tears away,
Those days I…
I understand now how blessed and loved I am.
Those little words we say,
So overused but they are true,
Those little words—I love you.
