The lyrics to this
composition are very inspiring. The phrase "love is the seed" is a metaphor which
may have two different applications to life. To enjoy the beauty of
earth's flora and perhaps to participate in planting and growing greenery
all around is a great wonderment to the planter. The love that is given a
seed as it is planted, then sprouts, and grows renders a magnificent plant for
all to enjoy. In another sense, the metaphor may be understood as the seed
being the essence of life and it is love for those with whom one comes in
contact that compels them to blossom into purposeful human beings.
The music gives
these lyrics the energy to make love live! It is set in a Billie
Holiday blues-swing style followed by a driving jazz style. It is great fun to
sing.
Printed copies of
the two-part settings are only available as part of the three-part arrangements.
Part III is optional so it may be sung as a two-part setting by simply ignoring
Part III. It is conceived to sound fine as both a two-part and three-part
arrangement.
