Our latest contribution to the simple does not have to mean stupid niche. First published in 1885, these settings are modest in scope, yet imaginatively constructed. With considerable rhythmic energy, independence of the two voices, harmonic variety, and interesting accompaniments, they transcend the idiom of the Victorian parlor ballad which they superficially resemble.

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.
