The unknown is forever strange
The answers are never ordinary

Questions—
Always wondering why?
Who are you today?
Will I get an A?
Transitions—
Everything is strange
How will I compare?
Will I have to change?

People—
Just like you and me
Trying to be brave
Scared of what they’ll say
Confusion—
Blurring every line
Don’t know how I feel
Wond’ring what is real

Wednesdays—
Don’t know what to wear
I hate my hair!
Does anybody care?
Changes—
Nothing stays the same
Just when I think I know
I find there’s room to grow

Never Ordinary was conceived in a workshop with a select group of middle school singers from Angelica Cantanti. We talked about all of the confusing things in life: everything from friendships, finding out who you are, and math class to transitions, the world and the future. Even as an adult, I relate to these concerns and did my best to convey them through the music and text of the song. Although it deals with some hard questions, the ending shows how change may be difficult at times, but if you adjust your perspective a bit, you can see it as an opportunity to grow.

World premiere: May 19, 2024 at Orchestra Hall in Minneapolis, MN by Angelica Cantanti Youth Choirs conducted by Elizabeth Egger and accompanied by Jeffrey Patry.
