(Level 4) A bossa-like Broadley original, this has been a favorite of high school vocal groups. It requires a soft delivery (not unlike that of Sergio Mendes and Brazil '66). Male and female voices trade lines moving in fourths and end together in lush four-part harmony. The "hook" of the tune climbs to a mezzo forte but the climax of the tune does not call for much more volume than a slight, sudden roar. Soothing and easy on audiences' ears. SATB with rhythm section, percussion.
