This could be the most awesome piece of the 21st century. Why? Here's a tune that is energizing and exciting that teaches singers how to write counts in music and it's concert programmable. Every high school and college choir will want to have this piece to start their year. And as Vance George said, “... it makes rhythm fun; it is great for high school and middle school choirs.

Danny Boy
