Home Is – Carol Barnett

Composer: Carol Barnett Text by: Mia Lopez, Lucy Raymond, Charlotte Warren Jonathon Bailey, Alexia Miller, Caroline Baxter, Sophia Kisler Instrumentation: SATB divisi Duration: Approx. 4 minutes Date Written:  2019 Composer’s note: Home is…many things: a place (or places), the things in those places, the people and pets that you love and who love you, the familiar sounds, smells and tastes. The music is a kaleidoscope of styles – waltz, gentle syncopation, rap-style chanting, and the evocation of a place “where love is endless, everlasting and eternal.” Texts HOME IS… Home is where love is…Where you can be sad,Where you can be happy.Home is the place you leave every day,Where you fall and where you rise,Where you can do anything,Where you can be anything.Home is where you feel safe,Safe and loved. Home is the blanket my mom pulls out of the dryer.Home tastes like the cake that my mom cooks.Home feels like my dog cuddling with me.Home looks like organized books on a bookshelf.Home sound
