Giants In The Sky - Noah Golden's Senior Recital

A clip of Noah Golden singing "Giants In The Sky" from Into the Woods at his senior voice recital. Here are some notes he wrote about the song in the program.

Giants In The Sky -
I want to dedicate this song to Leah Osborne, my first voice teacher who started me off on the right foot down the path of voice studies. Giants was one of the first songs I worked on with her in early '02 and remains one of the hardest songs I've sung to date.
There are many reasons I choice Giants from the repertoire of music I worked on with Leah. Taken from Sondheim's fairy tale musical "Into The Woods", the song beautifully bookends this recital with For Good. To me, Giants is about leaving childhood and entering teenage life, while For Good tells about leaving adolescence and entering adulthood. First you look at the mysterious adult world and wish that you could be a part of it. Once you get there though, you are greeted with surprises both pleasant and frightening. Scared and lonesome, you wish you could go back to the world of your childhood, which now seems interesting and full of adventure, but in the end you are unable and stuck between both words. Although Giants In The Sky may seem like a lighthearted song fairy-tale, Sondheim's quirky lyrics shine light on the transient stage between child and adult.
