A WORK FOR SOLO PIANO 

Paul Halley: "During my years as Music Director at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City I was blessed with the opportunity to write several musicals for the children of the Cathedral School. The Prince and the Pauper was one of them and this piece is taken from that musical. It is the song that the dying King Henry Vlll sang to his supposed son who was afraid to be crowned King. Not realizing he is addressing a pauper instead of the Crown Prince, Henry gives the child some good advice on how to deal with fear and doubt in one's life. I wanted to write of that quality of tenderness between a father and son, when each recognizes the humanity of the other."
