About the Score

"Along the Bay is a lyrical and reflective duet for soprano and piano. The poem ""Along the Bay"" is from a larger collection of poems entitled As Time Stops to Rest, written by the composer's late aunt, Susan Jordan. The text describes the passage of snowflakes as they fall, join the dew, and eventually become the bay, possibly a metaphor for our lives. The references to dancing and Tinker Bell highlight the playful nature of this journey.

While Along the Bay is the third movement from a larger song cycle As Time Stops to Rest, it can also be used as a stand-alone piece in any concert or recital.

TEXT

Snowflakes melt But hold their shapes In minute yet Important ways And join the dew That greets the day And flow together Making the bay

And I have traveled very far, Passing shadows That dare me to stay I have traveled With snowflakes Along the bay

Tinker Bell how wise and small Possessing knowledge Needed by all

And forever came and went Was given by some, by others spent But we knew that life was started In the dew And followed snowflakes in their dance Tinker Bell helped us prance in beat, along the bay"
