With the exception of Requiem, these songs are set to poems from the beloved A Child's Garden of Verses. They are not children's songs, but exprss the joy, humor, and wonder, common to human beings of all ages. My Shadow may be performed with a piano instead of flute if a flutist is unavailable. Stevenson's Requiem is carved on his tombstone, which lies on the island of Samoa, where he spent his last years.
