My Shadow

The Perrys’ latest addition to a series of songs from A Child’s Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson. This youthful poem recalls a child’s account of his own peculiar shadow. “He is very, very like me from my heels up to my head, and I see him jump before me when I jump into my bed.” Playful and light, this musical setting features tuneful melodies, occasional rounds, and straightforward 2-part singing. Charming.
