Scored for SSAA divisi and piano, "to find a song..." is a great addition to high school and college choral repertoire. Voice ranges are very accessible. The piano accompaniment may require a fairly good accompanist. The simple theme in the piano repeats itself throughout the work in variations as it moves from a flowing beginning to a jazzy middle and returns to a full fledged finale of the theme. The poet seeks to find a song, a melody, a harmony, a rhythm, a tempo to life, but in the end life itself is the very core of these aspects. Life is already in motion. Signing the text during the performance is highly encouraged. Premiered by the Rutland High School Advanced Women's Chorus, Charles Hernandez, Director - to whom it has been dedicated.
