Program Note
In the thirties, Copland taught part time at the Henry Street Settlement. He wrote this chorus for the Girls' Glee Club. It is a simple setting of a text by Henry Abbey for soprano and alto voices with piano accompaniment. Copland enjoyed composing for young performers. He said, "After all, they grow up and become our audiences."
