Sincere thanks to the Rocky Mountain Chamber Choir for this recording. For song description and sheet music, see below.

Description: Here’s a summer song that explores the complex set of emotions that this season evokes, especially for school teachers. “A Teacher’s Ode to Summer” is based on a poem by my friend Mary Lage — a retired music, special ed and ESL teacher — to whom this song is dedicated.
