This darling little charmer reads like step-by-step instructions for assembling a jigsaw puzzle. Andy's writing provides the perfect lesson plan to teach part-singing: Part II sings an eight-bar melody, Part I sings their complementary eight bars, the two combine, we add some simple parallel harmony on the refrain, and voilà ! Teachers will thoroughly appreciate the easy-to-play piano part and compact vocal ranges (no one sings higher or lower than a D). In a surprise, not-so-hidden message, the lyrics explain that the pieces are scattered, not broken, and though they have come apart, when they fit back together, we'll have a wonderful work of art. It's a double metaphor about points of view, or voice parts, coming together.

Lewis Carroll's puzzlingly hilarious poem â??You Are Old, Father Williamâ? (featured in The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland), set to a jaunty and slightly eccentric waltz tune by Cristi Cary Miller, will prove an attention-catching addition to any light concert. Simple two-part writing at its finest. The voice parts â??trade offâ? telling the story, with brief sections of harmony and countermelody. Pure unabashed fun!
