A gentle piano accompaniment with oboe accompanies this concert work for 2-part and 3-part mixed voices. Sara Teasdale's text of a cloud “in the heaven's height, the stars are lit for my delight” is a delightful metaphor for children to sing and explore both textually and musically. Johnson's setting uses a lovely melody with simple harmonies and slight divisi for young singers.

Immediately following his first opera Rheinberger composed a small dramatic cantata for children's voices in 1863. It is based on a story from the Gospel of St. Mark, arranged as a rhymed libretto with various roles by Franz Bonn (1830-1854). Among the highpoints of the cantata are a scene of awakening fashioned as a choral recitative with an expressive piano part and a large final chorus Preist laut den Herr. Both of these helped to make the cantata very popular in Rheinberger's days with boys' and girls' choirs. Rheinberger later arranged it with an accompaniment by a small orchestra. Score available separately - see item CA.5003200.

“Jamjari Kkongkkong†is a Korean traditional children's song based on nature. Jamjari means “dragonfly†and kkongkkong is an expression that represents “to freeze/stop in place.†Children in South Korea used to sing this song while chasing dragonflies, in hopes that a dragonfly would freeze in place to make it easier to catch. This arrangement begins with the original folk song (mm. 3-6), then continues with a modified version of the melody.

Composed for the Childrens Chorus of Opera North, this is an upper voice setting of Thomas Hardys poem of the same name ('Christmas Eve, and twelve of the clock'). The swaying jazz waltz style and chromatic, but very singable melody combine to create an effective and unique carol to add some variety to a choirs Christmas programme. The vocal parts are very approachable, with unison verses and two or three-part wordless refrains (sung to 'oo').
