A great music teacher's legacy is not measured by the festivals and conventions at which their students performed. It is not measured by the number of all-state performers or professional musicians their program generated. Nor is it measured by Teacher-of-the-Year awards or accolades. A great music teacher's legacy is found in the memories, the music, the life lessons, and the truths still resonating in the hearts of their students. I Carry Your Song in My Heart was created to celebrate the legacy of Cheryl Wilson, a great choir director, and the 'song' she imparted to her students. Robert Draper, her former assistant, wrote the first draft of the text which was further developed into its present form by Evan and Sarah Ramos. Performance Notes: Mm. 9-16: Be careful not to take this section too quickly. The section 'rhythms dance, phrases spin' is difficult to enunciate at too fast a tempo. Work with your singers to find a tempo that allows mm. 13-16 to 'dance' without feeling rushed. Mm. 37, 61: Keep the dotted eighth notes in these measures as legato as possible. M. 47: If you would like, accenting the dotted eighth notes is appropriate here. If you choose to perform this piece with Cello, feel free to adjust dynamics as needed for balance in the overall sound.
