Now adapted for SSAA by Richard Gabrillo, Craig Hella Johnson's setting of Dolly Parton's Light of a Clear Blue Morning is infused with light and hopefulness as it opens with a solo soprano and gradually builds to a joyful overflowing of sound and vocal texture, then gently relaxing into a reflective conclusion. With soprano recorder.

We sing this as a graduation song for my choir and the reason I couldn’t was due to the seniors crying around me. I can’t wait until the year it will be me sobbing. Here’s to making it to this age. Congrats class of 2023. We made it this far

[@iwasonceemo450]

We’re next. And I’m trying out for the solo today.

[@watamelonn]

[@junkoxxx4892]

[@morgancornell1409]

JunkoXXX I know!

[@bopeep1622]

JunkoXXX yesss

[@clarinetcora]

I was so lucky to be the soloist in this piece on American Music Abroad this year 🥹 One of my close friends got to play the flute accompaniment too! Singing this solo was such a special experience for me and I will never forget it :)

[@JHutchnLetoLUVR]

So blessed that my high school choir director had us do this song. It’s been 8 years since then, but I think about this composition just about every day. Dolly knew what she was doing when she wrote these lyrics, and this arrangement is beautiful.

[@sophiachacon2957]

I was so blessed to be the soloist of this song at my graduation 👩‍🎓 🤗🙏🏻

[@SpoiledMartian]

Where did you graduate from because she sounds just like the one who sang at my friend's graduation!

[@sophiachacon2957]

SpoiledMartian I’m from Texas

[@nicolausnw]

Your voice was totally beautiful 👍 I also sang this song at my university choir this november

[@pbj4toast]

Thank you --awesome job, I was just gonna ask who the soloist was when I saw your note. We are doing this in our chorale for Christmas.

[@epicmemetime1122]

Recorder or vocal?

[@ei919]

I’m a senior in high school who’s gonna be singing this with my class for our final concert. It’s absolutely gorgeous and I’m really happy that I get to sing such a beautiful song for my final high school concert ever (even if I’m an alto II)

[@skittle9946]

During dark times like these this song lights the way ☀️

[@elizabethadelheid5935]

Kylie, if you ever see this I just want to say what an honor it was to be in Singco with you. I miss singing this with everyone so badly

[@DorothyElizabethhh]

I almost, *almost* performed this with my choir. It meant so much to me and I was really sad when we didn’t end up continuing with it.

[@angloukrezis]

I’m excited i’m performing this with my choir

[@Me-ju6gp]

Solo at 0:48 (starting note is F Sharp) It’s been a long, dark night, And I’ve been waiting for the morning. It’s been a long, hard fight, But I see a brand new day dawning. I’ve been looking for the sunshine ‘Cause I ain’t seen it in so long. Everything’s going to work out fine. Everything’s going to be alright. It’s going to be okay. I can see the light of a clear blue morning. I can see the light of a brand new day. I can see the light of a clear blue morning. Everything’s going to be alright. It’s going to be okay. Ensemble at 2:43 Solo at 2:56 I can see the light of a clear blue morning. (Repeat) Solo at 3:35 I can see the light. (G Sharp, B, D Sharp, C sharp, B) I can see the light. (G NATURAL, B, D NATURAL, C sharp, B) Blue, blue morning. Blue.

[@lawrencetindale3475]

Beautiful arrangement of the parts coming in at different times, and nice chromatics with the double sharp at the end. Not often that I've seen that in musical notation.

[@invisiblegirl5487]

I got to sing this in 7th grade I miss being in choir

[@samsilananda3135]

When the pandemic is over we should all sing or play this song.

[@jhunifiedwithlove9750]

Who’s here coz of Monèt Exchange? Such a beautiful version. Thanks Monet 🥂❤️🙏🏽👼

[@asackofgravy1001]

my school did this version, only we transcribed it for an SATB choir to sing. we sang it for the graduating class of 2016, if I remember correctly.

[@aebez]

HELL YEAH I LOVE BEING AN ALTO 2 💪💪💪💪💪💪

[@WiinterWolf]

Our chior sang this!!

[@sophiachacon2957]

Wiinter Wolf Should you have a right to be in it if you don’t even know how to spell it? 😕🤔

[@WiinterWolf]

Sophia Chacon who even ate you to be picking on a young girl? My auto correct spelled it that way. My English/grammar is how I was taught. So it isn’t the best. Damn.

[@WiinterWolf]

Are**

[@sophiachacon2957]

Wiinter Wolf Never has any of my smartphones ever autocorrected the correct way of spelling a word to something that’s the incorrect way of spelling it but okay whatever you say honey. Also, if doubt you’re that young since you say you choir sang this. It’s a high school level song especially if your doing all voice parts. And if you’re going to get so offended by stuff on the internet (especially if it’s as something as minor as this) then maybe just MAYBE you shouldn’t use it? Just a thought. Anyway, have a nice day. 👋

[@thecypressstation7470]

@Sophia Chacon You should probably take a good look at your own grammar before criticizing her. Don't be a hypocrite.

[@drewmackey3789]

what’s with the end? why aren’t the full chords sung?

[@triplewells168]

Monét X Change sent me here

[@gabrielnunez8504]

That’s pretty hella Johnson

[@Thrillerace]

I can't read notes, can somebody tell me what the notes are for the recorder 😭😭😭

[@DorianMendez-ml4ls]

Es duena

[@owenmurphy7946]

Yeha are soloist is better

[@sophiachacon2957]

Owen Murphy our* and that’s cool. People will have different styles of singing, it’s perfectly fine. But that’s what I like, if we all sounded the same then there would be no fun in it at all.

[@bopeep1622]

Owen Murphy gurl mine is da bomb

[@papayagurl9275]

Lmao are you sure about that?
