about

Words and music by David W Solomons
written in honour of the wedding of Jonathan and Sheralyn Rennert
and performed at their wedding.
(I introduced Sheralyn to St Michael's Cornhill, where Jonathan was (and still is) master of music
- and in due course they were married.
The white eyed angel refers to the angel above Cantoris stalls in the church there
(the artist forgot to paint its eyes... ;-)).
The music quotes many of the pieces we used to sing there, including "Remember Thou thy Creator" by Charles Steggall
and various Gregorian chants)

lyrics

You may hear the flutter of tiny wings
and it's not the white-eyed angel above the organ.
watch my wings flutter
It's not the angelic soprano in the days of her youth
and it's not the big burly bass
and it's not the gloria in excelsis Rector
'Cos ev'ry body knows that Cupid sings alto
Watch my wings flutter
Now this Cupid brought a soprano in
and he introduced her for an audition
watch her heart flutter!
She sang very sweetly and purely in the days of her youth
and found favour with the maestro
and the gloria in excelsis Rector said
"Well I never knew that Cupid sang alto.
Watch his wings flutter!"
You may hear the flutter of tiny wings,
tiny wings, tiny wings...
