Child of the Rainbow by Paul Merkus — Lyrics
About Child of the Rainbow
Paul Merkus's Child of the Rainbow is a setting of a poignant English text that speaks to a sense of urgency and responsibility. The lyrics, which touch upon themes of lost words, melting gifts of nature, and the fleeting summer of life, urge listeners to pay heed to the world and its creatures. It calls for a rejection of greed and hatred, advocating instead for a future where innocence can glow. The composer's setting for SATB choir captures the reflective and impassioned nature of the text, making it a moving choice for choirs seeking music with a strong message.
