Set to the majestic “This is the day that the Lord hath made” psalm text this highly flexible a cappella work is especially good for a multi-choir festival or concert. Short and accessible the work opens antiphonallywith fanfare-like phrases moving to a more subdued contrasting section before returning to the opening music for an uplifting conclusion.

The use of Tibetan Bells and Wind Chimes provides an ethereal atmosphere that is echoed in the music and text. Originally written for treble choir this new voicing is most effective. The description of the surrounding nature and stars becomes sound in this beautiful composition. Its festival use has already become popular for any season.

The question in the title may seem abstract but learning that the poet was five and the profundity behind her thoughts is the first impressive moment. The first melody line holds the weight of the question. The second melody dances while your thoughts become dazzled. Returning to the first theme you enjoy the unanswered questions of the ages from the innocence of youth. Easy.
