Sing To Celebrate Summer

Commissioned by the Buck Hill-Skytop Music Festival, 2010, and first performed on August 6th 2010 at the Skytop Lodge, Skytop, PA, by Dan Snyder (tenor) and Annabelle Taubl (harp).

This work was written to celebrate theofficial opening of the upper path to the Falls at Buck Hill, for the new Buck Hill-Skytop Music Festival. The sound of its two spectacular waterfalls is represented by the music written for the harp, which also imitates thesinging of birds described in the poem by Geoffrey Chaucer.
