If You Want to Hold My Hand [level: Easy]
Kyle Pederson: Bio and other works

voicing: SATB | catalog number: SBMP 1599 | price: $2.15
accompaniment: piano or guitar

This piece explores the simple, but incredibly powerful act of holding someone's hand. It can be performed with any combination of piano and guitar (together or exclusively). It is preferred that guitar is included as this allows for a unique, gentle feel and helps create an intimate sonic environment. This piece was crafted as part of suite, and is an excellent companion piece to Hands are Knockin' (SBMP 1551) both thematically and harmonically.

performance by: University of Wyoming Collegiate Chorale, directed by Nicole Lamartine [© all rights reserved]

f you want to hold my hand," said the four year old girl to her four year old friend,
"I'm gonna hold it for as long as I can--maybe forever--if forever never ends.
Would that be okay?"

"If you want to hold my hand," said the teenage boy to his sweetheart and friend,
"I just might hold it for as long as I can--maybe forever--if forever never ends.
Would that be okay?"

"If you want to hold my hands," said the bride-to-be to her waiting man,
"I promise I will hold them for as long as I can, and a promise is forever and it never ever ends.
Would that be okay?"

"If you want to hold my hand," said the old, old woman to the old, old man,
"I've held your hand for the forever we've had,
and I'll keep on holding for as long as I can.
Would that be okay?"
