Notes forLike Diamonds In The Night

No matter who we are, where we live, or what we celebrate duringDecember, there are a few things our celebrations have in common. One ofthose things is light. Everywhere we look we see decorations, embellishments,and displays great and small all filled with light. Is there anything quite somagical as driving around in the evening looking at all the beautiful lightedtrees, homes, parks, stores, streets, buildings, you-name-it? Truly, the sparkling isakin to diamonds in the night. This happy pop song is a tribute to that feeling. From the bouncinganticipation in the strings at the beginning, it slowly builds to a passionate, fullenvelope of sound surrounding us much like the lights all around. Let yoursingers become fully immersed in the music. Turn it up and fill the room. Andwhen they get to the echo, “Like diamonds in the night,” let them becomeserene, glowing in the moment. We’ve taken great care with the orchestration and production of theinstrumental tracks for this piece, as you can hear on the recording. In fact, we’veused two full sets of strings so that we could layer the sound most effectively as itreached the pinnacle heading into the coda. The wall of sound is just wonderful.If you have a chance to play the background tracks for your students, please do.Let them experience it as a sound painting, visualizing the lights all around themas they go. What a marvelous exercise in imagination, too. Listening to our singers on the recording will help yours learn the piece,though we have kept it relatively simple so that you can use it with varying grade levels. And while it could be done in unison, the echo that recurs is veryeffective and easy to do. We do add a third part at measure 54, but it is optional.It adds a bit of punch and lively fun which you could assign to a select group ofsingers to simplify things. We have isolated this part and included it in this kit aswell as under “Downloads” at MusicK8.com (in case your students want topractice on their own). Also to help you with teaching this song, or even using it in a performance,we have created a projectable version of the lyric page in PowerPoint® format. It,too, can be found with the downloads in this kit. Using this piece in performance just cries out for strings and strings of lightsall over. You will likely have at least some of these, perhaps on a Christmas treeas well. If you can amend them with more (safely!), you might consider loweringthe room lights when you perform so that the little lights do shine like diamondsall around.
