about

A song about seasons, and hope . . .
This song uses the lyrics of a poem written in the 1800's by Oliver Herford, and adds a little to it.

lyrics

DARK OF DECEMBER

(Wind instrument solo)

Verse 1
I HEARD A BIRD SING IN THE DARK OF DECEMBER
A MAGICAL THING, AND SWEET TO REMEMBER
WE ARE NEARER TO SPRING THAN WE WERE IN SEPTEMBER,
I HEARD A BIRD SING IN THE DARK OF DECEMBER
IN THE DARK . . . OF DECEMBER . . .

Bridge
SEASONS ARE SPINNING, THE CALENDAR’S TURNING,
EACH DAY IS A NEW DAY WITH ALL OF US YEARNING . . .
YEARNING . . .

FOR SPRING

(Wind instrument solo)

Verse 2
I HEARD A BIRD SING IN THE DARK OF DECEMBER
A MAGICAL THING, AND SWEET TO REMEMBER
WE ARE NEARER TO SPRING THAN WE WERE IN SEPTEMBER,
I HEARD A BIRD SING IN THE DARK OF DECEMBER
IN THE DARK . . . DARK OF DECEMBER . . . IN THE DARK . . . OF DECEMBER
