Star Light, Star Bright (5-Part Flex)

Star Light, Star Bright was inspired by a tune played by nearly every beginning musician in the US: "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star." The meaning is twofold: It pays tribute to the tune we played as beginners and reminds us that our starting experience is always a star in the night sky to which we can refer to find our way in unprecedented times like these. It is also a reminder of and tribute to the musicians and teachers who played a vital role in our developing as musicians and as people.
