The Dream Keeper

SSAA divisi, a cappella

The gently rocking lullaby that begins and ends this piece surrounds a melodic center section. Melodies that flit and melodies that contemplate; cheerful melodies and sad melodies; all building to the richness of the cloud-cloth that gently wraps the melodies, keeping them safe from the world.

Text: Langston Hughes (1901–1967)

The Dream Keeper

Bring me all of your dreams,
You dreamers.
Bring me all of your
Heart melodies
That I may wrap them
In a blue cloud-cloth
Away from the too rough fingers
Of the world.
