The original SSA version of this piece (#5331), based on the text by E. E. Cummings, was the 1999 Raymond W. Brock Commission from the ACDA, and has become wildly popular since its premiere at the 1999 national convention. This version was arranged for the Alexander Dreyfoos School of the Arts Singers, performed by them at the ADCA 2002 Southern Division Convention in Charlotte, NC.
