A work for 2 part young voices with piano accompaniment. A nostalgic and tonal melodic setting of Charles Kingsley's lovely and simple reflection of youth versus old age. One may want to consider utilizing "Tell Me" as the opening selection in a three works presentation for high voices by Jeffrey Kaufman. The second would be "Young and Old" and closing with "Frolic".

"Tell Me" is a work for two part high voices, with optional divisi. A whimsical work challenging both harmonically and rhythmically. The text asks (by a rather precocious child), some strangely interesting questions with a demand that someone "Tell Me"! One may want to consider utilizing "Tell Me" as the opening selection in a three works presentation for high voices by Jeffrey Kaufman. The second would be "Young and Old" and closing with "Frolic".

Twenty-Four Hallelujahs, for SATB chorus with piano, is a simple song of praise in a rich harmonic setting. The single word of text, “Hallelujah,” is repeated in a number of variations and rhythmic schemes that deliver nuances of meaning in a way that the text alone cannot. At times the text is contemplative; in others it is jubilant and even forceful.
