Kindness and Love

Inspired by the music and philosophy of Mr. Rogers, this tender song is a gift from the composer to his students. Heartfelt verses pose questions to singers about their feelings and lead to five important virtues: “kindness and gladness, compassion and joy, and love.” The dolce tempo marking requests a sweet tone from the voices and a delicate touch at the piano. There’s a lot to be learned here, both musically and emotionally.
