Shining and shimmering up in the skyà"Wishing Star" is a text reminiscent of the "Star Light, Star Bright" nursery rhyme. Beth Bolton and Laura Farnell's use of mixolydian mode and compound meter create a sense of longing with an endearing, whimsical quality. Appropriate for many types of choirs and abilities, a programming must.
With a text reminiscent of the "Star Light, Star Bright" nursery rhyme and its use of the mixolydian (flat 7th) mode, this piece has a longing, endearing quality. Perform the initial presentation of the unison melody in a smooth, lilting style. When performing the melody in canon, work for an equal balance of volume and vocal quality between the two voices. Sing the softer contrasting sections with a hushed, yet confident, vocal quality, and be sure to keep the part 2 melody prominent in mm. 34-42. Work for unified, open vowels, especially when singing with a gentle style. Enjoy performing this piece and let your face convey its longing and hopefulness as you share it with your audience!
