From Fae By Nature Choral Works' suite, Starflung Lullabies:

Seven Sisters (Pleiades), a sparkling song for Children's Choir.

For thousands of years, The Pleiades have been one of the most recognized and beloved constellations in the night sky. For ancient peoples, the cycles of The Seven Sisters' journey across the heavens were central to spirituality as well as the timing of agricultural practices.

Children and adults around the world still look at the Pleiades with wonder and admiration. But what do the Seven Sisters see when they gaze down at us from the vastness of space? For whom do they shine?

Seven sisters dancing in the sky.
Seven sisters dancing in the sky.
Seven sisters dancing in the sky!

Pleiades, sparkle overhead
in my little window beside my bed.
Nighthawks cry as we dance across the sky,
my shining Seven Sisters and I.

One shines for zebras in sleepy silver beams
on savannahs where cheetah kittens run in their dreams.
Two shine for whale calves swimming happily
with their mothers in the deep, blue sea.

Pleiades, sparkle overhead
in my little window beside my bed.
Nighthawks cry as we dance across the sky,
my shining Seven Sisters and I.

Three shine for wolf pups singing to the moon
with a chorus of family, who taught them the tune.
Four shine for owlets learning how to fly
among the Seven Sisters of the Sky.

Pleiades, sparkle overhead
in my little window beside my bed.
Nighthawks cry as we dance across the sky,
my shining Seven Sisters and I.

Five shine for crowlings cawing as they play, sliding
down a rooftop on a snowy day.
Six shine for Waxwings in a cedar tree.
And all Seven Sisters shine for me!

Pleiades, sparkle overhead
in my little window beside my bed.
Nighthawks cry as we dance across the sky,
my shining Seven Sisters and I.

Seven sisters dancing in the sky.
Seven sisters dancing in the sky.
Seven sisters dancing in the sky!

One of the brightest young luminaries in roots music today, Sierra Ferrell brings a dose of beautifully strange magic to everything she touches. Since the arrival of Long Time Coming (her acclaimed debut LP for Rounder Records), the West Virginia-born singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist has earned the Emerging Act of the Year prize at the Americana Honors & Awards, collaborated with the likes of Margo Price and Old Crow Medicine Show, and enchanted audiences all over North America and Europe with her high-spirited and dazzling live performance. On her new album Trail Of Flowers, the Nashville-based artist expands her sound while deepening the urgency of her songs, often revealing a wealth of wisdom within her wildly imaginative storytelling. 

Trail Of Flowers came to life with producers Eddie Spear (Zach Bryan, Brandi Carlile, Chris Stapleton) and Gary Paczosa (Alison Krauss, Dwight Yoakam, Gillian Welch) and with such esteemed musicians as Chris Scruggs. In keeping with a musical upbringing that included playing everywhere from truck stops to boxcars to New Orleans street corners, the album journeys from freewheeling bluegrass to heartrending old-time music to fantastically gritty honky-tonk and beyond, endlessly changing shape to accommodate the immense scope of Ferrell’s eccentric musicality. Trail Of Flowers ultimately fulfills her longstanding mission of making music that transcends all barriers of time.
