Original, Sarah Ramos &

Draper.
Ramos has
written a memorable
tribute to a beloved
teacher in I Carry Your
Song in My Heart. For the
advanced treble ensemble,
the lush and captivating
harmonies are sure to
engage both singer and
audience. With a
wonderful it factor, it
is a great find for
concert or festival.
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.
