Paper Boats is from a children’s poetry set called “Crescent Moon” published in 1913. The piece should be performed with child-like zeal and wonder, making sure that it is light and playful while also ensuring rhythmic accuracy, particularly in the hocketing textures in the middle of the piece. This particular setting was written for the 2013 Oregon Bach Festival Composers Symposium. Purchase the score on MusicSpoke http://bit.ly/1D81Ek0.
