Set to a moving text from Walt Whitman’s poem I Sing the Body Electric, Beautiful, Curious, Breathing, Laughing captures the simple, profound joy of being with people we care about. It’s a celebration of connection, presence, and the beauty of shared human experience – a message I believe resonates deeply in our world today.
This work features lyrical vocal lines, rich, expressive harmonies, and a supportive piano accompaniment that weaves through the choral texture. Suitable for intermediate to advanced SATB choirs, it’s a meaningful addition to concert programs, festivals, and community performances.
