Work Without Opus 6

"You put the Music in us"


Lyrics by Sydney Jackson

Composed in honour of Jennifer Kelly, band director.

After my school's (now former) band director (Jennifer Kelly) announced that she was going to leave my middle school (Rockheights Middle School), A student (Sydney Jackson) approached me and asked me to hastily compose in time for the year-end concert a choral piece in Mrs. Kelly's honour from the lyrics she had jotted down. I accepted the challenge, and got this completed over the weekend. After inconspicuously conducting six covert rehearsals, a few members from the school's choir and jazz band attempted to perform it as a surprise for Mrs. Kelly at the end of the year-end concert. (see live performance)
