Description

This special commission from Smithfield Middle School for the Varsity Treble Choir’s performance at the 2020 Texas Music Educators Association Annual Conference sets the words of parents responding to the prompt, “What I wish for you…”

A quiet and thoughtful beginning leads into words of encouragement and love that culminate in a powerful statement, “Know who you are.” A unique and stirring piece for treble choirs of middle school age and up.

What I wish for you is
to be strong, and courageous, and fearless,
to grow in grace as you grow in knowledge, that you become the person you were meant to be, to feel confident in your body,
to find your place in this world,
to know who you are.

What I wish for you:
to rise, to dream, to feel, to love, have faith that is bigger than your fears, to live every moment with purpose, set no limitations on who you are,
to widen the circle, to never stop chasing your dreams, to rise above.

What I wish for you: feel your feelings, decide for yourself, set boundaries, know your worth, use your words, be heard,
see the world, fall in love, open your heart, celebrate wildly, know who you are.

What I wish for you…
