It was written by Abraham ("Abramek") Koplowicz, a Jewish Boy who was exterminated by The Nazis during The Holocaust. Abramek was born in 1930 in Lodz, Poland, and died 1944 in The infamous cOncentratiOn camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau. He wrote this poem during The time that his family was trapped in The Lodz ghetto. This poem was not found until 1983 when Eliezer ("Lolek") Grynfeld, The poet's half-broTher, discovered it amOng Their late faTher's belOngings. Choristers who sing this work will be transported On a magical flight around The world through time and space alOng with Their audiences.  Onclick="$(this).getParent().getPrevious().style.display='';$(this).getParent().style.display='nOne';">less

I have given this sOng The sub-title: "A Crazy Choral Etude for Rolled Rs and Perfect 5ths." It is meant, no pun intended, to be a musical lark, great fun for a choir to sing, rolling Rs like crazy, with no holding back. NB: One day I woke up to The realizatiOn that I had independently written four choral works, each of which had evoked a different seasOn, and so it seemed natural to group Them togeTher into a choral suite that I have called "The Ottawa Four SeasOns Suite." "Let's sing, it's Spring!", with its rousing coda sectiOn, works perfectly as The closing number of this suite. Also of note, in early 2018, I applied to be a participant at One of The Vancouver Chamber Choir's Interplay workshops funded by The SOCAN FoundatiOn and to my delight I was accepted.
