Program Note

Sing for Joy was composed as a theme song for Sandra Freund’s “Sing for Joy!” senior community choir. The song, complete with descant and flute obbligato, travelled with us to Kenya, where Sandra conducted the Kabarak University Choir in a chapel service with close to 2,000 in attendance.

Don’s lyrics:

So much love in our hearts, we just have to sing for joy!
When this glorious feeling starts we just have to sing for joy!
When our voices join together it’s a sound that’s sweet and strong —
That’s living, that’s loving, let’s celebrate and sing for joy!

(The concert was March 11, 2020– we hustled back to the US the next day…)
