Sunshine

"Sunshine" is an original song with music and text written by Michael McGlynn and set for Mixed Choir and Piano. This is a joyous work best suited to a larger ensemble [plus 18 singers] but would work with a full-voiced smaller ensemble. You can read a full score in real-time with a performance by Anúna on the video link above.

• Mixed Voice Choir and Piano

Run into the golden sunshine

Run beneath a blue unfurling sky

Run into the bright blue morning

Catch a fleeting swallow passing by.

 

Come into the golden sunshine

Run into a great unfolding song

Sail the new-blown dandelion and

Catch a breeze to carry you along.

 

Every stream a river

Every pool the sea

Every hill a mountain

Any dream will be.

Every bell to ring

Every tree to climb

Any song we sing

Every word will rhyme.

 

Running through the summer sunshine

Paint a new-born rainbow way on high

Come into the bright blue morning

Catch a fleeting swallow passing by.

Sunshine, sunshine.

 

Commissioned by Florida Atlantic University Department of Music, Boca Raton, Florida and premiered March 2013
