Sunday (text):
Sunday, by the blue purple yellow red water
on the green purple yellow red grass
Let us pass through our perfect park
pausing on a Sunday
By the cool blue triangular water
on the soft green elliptical grass
as we pass through arrangements of shadow
toward the verticals of trees
Forever...
By the blue purple yellow red water
on the green orange violet mass of the grass
In our perfect park
made of flecks of light
and dark
and parasols
People strolling through the trees
of a small suburban park
on an island in the river
on an ordinary Sunday...

First found this video about 7 years ago and still today it’s the best version of this song I’ve heard anywhere and I always come back to enjoy it :) Wonderful.

[@MrDmcty1]

Perfect tone, flawless blend, i seriously had chills from the first note, the sopranos are so pure, everything is amazing! This is why I sing.

[@doglover1918]

Wonderful.

[@MonzaMan08]

One of the most amazing venues I have ever performed in.

[@UofUtahSingers]

Thank you for watching! This arrangement of "Sunday" is by Paul McKibbins and was published by Revelation music Publishing Corp, Y Rilting Music, Inc. Unfortunately I don't know if it is still available as it was published back in 1981. Good luck! Please subscribe to our new KZbin channel for more great arrangements! (kzbin.info)

I just love the opening piano, it really sets the mood and then the voices emerge-ah!

[@hanonondricek411]

I like the arrangement and the singing is great, but I specifically didn't enjoy the music direction. I know choirs are drilled on cutoffs, but this song is all about heavenly sustain and they were directed to hold the Ss for a full quarter note. In my opinion, the magic of this song is how the chord changes interact and flow together and having such abrupt stops between phrases foils that. There's a wonderfully interesting dissonance on "Toward the verticals of trees" and then "...forever" should be a thunderous waterfall of sound that plows through to the next phrase, but here it just dies out with a crisp little cutoff. Great performances and great sound from the singers with what they were given.

Good grief. Do you also edit sunsets and tell bees how to buzz??

[@Tytytytyty1776]

ah, I hear it now that you said it

[@pam0626]

You are so right. The endings are supposed to soar, but they sound clipped.

[@HikariDragonRyuu]

Fantastic.

[@stuartpurcell8139]

Beautifully sung. What an arrangement. I am struggling to find copies online as I'd love to present it to my choir. Any suggestions in finding the score?

[@BrettLeavelle]

I own one copy that was gifted to me in a box of other random music. If you message me I can give you the address that's on the music for "sales and shipping," even though I'm not sure it's still available.

@mbproductionX when i read your comment, I was going to send you my arrangement of it as my high school performed it last year as my senior project. However, after hearing this performance, I want this arrangement!

[@thelifeofyusef]

I know it's been a while, but can you send me the arrangement? I would like to perform it with my high school choir.

[@UofUtahSingers]

Please see response to the original question from mygmacldmds. Thanks!

[@tomvanderplas2836]

Hi, I've been looking to see if I could purchase the score of this arrangement anywhere based on your earlier reply but there's nothing to be found, not even a trace, only the original score from 1984 (strange you mention a 1981 publication?) with Mckibbins name in it which has simpler harmony than this arrangement. Are you sure it is not an own arrangement? Any more details you could give me or share a (paying) copy? If you have one of a few rare copies it would be a shame not to share it with the world and it's seriously bugging me there isn't anything else to find than the Huff arrangement. Would be very grateful if you could clear up this problem for me! Congratulations on the performance!

A choral director in my neck of the woods was giving away some extra pieces from his library, and somehow a large box of music from his library came into my possession. Buried in said box was one copy of this arrangement. I can confirm that the copyright date is 1981. It's published by Revelation Music Publishing Corp. I had the opposite issue where I couldn't find any recordings of this piece until now! Send me a message and we can get in touch and I'll see if we can't track this down together!
