Dream a Dream - Three Part Mixed
In 2015, my daughter graduated from Appling Middle School in Bartlett, TN. During the ceremony, the principal read a poem written by one of the graduating eighth graders, Katelyn Clemmer. I was moved by the poetry and contacted the principal to get in touch with Katelyn to ask permission to set the poem for choir. I then contacted Nick Wammack, the excellent director of the AMS Honors Choir (of which my daughter had been a part and my son would be a part of the following year) to ask if I could write a piece specifically for them. He was delighted to have the opportunity to premiere a new piece and helped give me parameters for his middle school voices.
This was premiered in May 2016 by the Appling Middle School Honor Choir.
Lyrics: Dream a Dream, by Katelyn Clemmer
Dream a dream today
And forget of yesterdays.
Dream a dream you never let go
for God who knows.
Dream a dream that
keeps you alive
For it lies ahead of us
for something that strives.
Dream a dream like you
never did before.
Dream a dream that
opens many doors.
So allow God to turn you
into a dreamer today.
For through this he can use you
In a mighty way.
Dream a dream that will last a lifetime.
The ones that come from above
For God will plant these dreams
In our lives as a way
to show his love.
Dream a dream today.
