Commissioned for the 1997 Oregon Children’s Choral Festival and part of our Festival Favorite Series of songs that are chosen as the favorite song by directors, choristers and audiences alike.
None Is Fairer also won the prestigious Malecki Music Merit Award for Best New Choral Song of The Year! Malecki’s Merit Award distinguishes a single song in each category Sun slippin’ down over the sea;
I hear your voice in the wind.
Takes me back to days long ago,
Sittin’ on silvery sands.
Secrets we shared, never to tell,
Alone we walked hand in hand;
Promises told to never grow old,
Holding time still with our hands.
None is fairer than you, my love, none is fairer than you:
Ever and always beloved one, none is fairer than you.
Time’s gone a way, poured with the sand,
Our days have drawn to an end;
I will be yours and you will be mine,
Now, till the end of all time.
None is fairer than you, my love, none is fairer than you:
Ever and always be loved one, none is fairer than you.

“Bruce and Jennifer Searl are two creative, new minds bursting into the world of music. Their singable melodies and catchy rhythms appeal immediately to children in elementary middle school, and even high school choirs. I have used all of their charming compositions and find them accessible and easily devoured by children. Their songs not only make immediate and direct connections with singers — but months, and even years later, I’ll receive requests for their music. It stands the test of time.”

“Oh my gosh! This song is so beautiful and so powerful! After talking through the lyrics of the song and helping my singers understand the depth of relationship and love that is portrayed, and then having them perform it with this understanding for their parents or anyone in the audience that has ever found life long love is an amazing experience. So many audience members came up after the concert to express how much they loved the song and that it brought them to tears. My kids love it! Their audience loved it! I love None Is Fairer! You will too!

“5 out of 5 choir directors recommend music from Aardvark Hill…” (Out of the directors who have tried songs from Aardvark Hill, that is! 😉
