Timothy Strang: Bio and other works

voicing: SSA | catalog number: SBMP 1433 | price: $215

Set to an inspirational text, this is bound to be a favorite of treble choirs. An active piano part keeps the pace flowing, while the singers take turns being the melodic stars. [ Errata ]

Star! Star, why dost thou shine
Each night upon my brow?
Why dost thou make me dream the dreams
That I am dreaming now?

Star! Star, thy home is high—
I am of humble birth;
Thy feet walk shining o’er the sky,
Mine, only on the earth.

Star! Star, why make me dream?
My dreams are all untrue;
And why is sorrow dark for me
And heaven bright for you?

Star! Star, oh, hide thy ray,
And take it off my face;
Within my lowly home I stay,
Thou, in thy lofty place.

Star! Star, and still I dream,
Along thy light afar
I seem to soar until I seem
To be, like you, a star.

Oh to Be a Star
original poem title: A Flower Song
by Abram Joseph Ryan
