Composed in 2016, Starfish is available in Unison or SA and piano, and is suitable for lower Primary school age children from Prep to Grade 6. It teaches harmonic blending and unison singing, has easy-to-learn words for younger children and explores the range of the voice. This piece was inspired by a trip to Lennox Head, New South Wales when, at low tide, a colony of beautiful starfish of all colours was seen in the ocean.
“Little star, little star, star of the sea,
How beautiful you are to me.
Little star, little star, jewel of the sea,
How beautiful you are to me.
See your shining light in the clear, crystal water,
And shimmering like gemstones in the sea,
Amethyst and ruby, topaz and emerald
Your colours shining brightly for me.” Sherelle Eyles
