Text from Ray Bradbury.

"Go to the edge of the cliff and jump off. Build your wings on the way down." Ray Bradbury's pithy and audacious advice creates the backdrop for this sonic experience of jumping, falling, and flying. This unique piece gives Bradbury's text to the narrator only, while the chorus parts are built entirely from the phonetic sounds of the word, "jump." An unforgettable depiction of one wild leap of faith! "J......juh......uh......um......p!"
Commissioned by Northfield Youth Choirs; Elizabeth Shepley, artistic director (Northfield, MN) Commissioned in honor of the 50th Anniversary of Northfield Youth Choirs
