Cuttime.net. Choral Performance Music l4 The Night Will Never Stay—Judith Herrington. "Though you bind it to the blowing wind and you buckle it to the moon, the night will slip away like a sorrow or a tune." The poetry of Eleanor Farjeon is so evocative, and this setting is perfect for young voices to sing. A great piece for teaching tone and musical phrasing. This is a beautiful song for concert or festival use. 10995824 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.15 çl4Non Nobis, Domine—Franz Joseph Haydn/arr. Geoffrey Edwards. e One of the most effective ways of introducing part-singing to an ensemble is through the canon. In this concertized Haydn work, all voices sing the melody in unison at the beginning, then split into a two-part melodic canon. The Latin text and approachable Classical style create an effective training piece for developing treble ensembles that doubles as a stand-out concert selection. 10953846 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.05 l4 Out of the Dark—Jim Papoulis. Middle school can be a difficult e time in the life of a student, often filled with feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. The composer explored this topic with middle school students in a songwriting workshop, and the students discovered that they are not alone with their feelings of self-doubt; that even adults struggle with these feelings. These students also discovered that they have the ability to be strong and find inspiration from within. The music reflects these moments of discovery with rhythmic forces. There is a vulnerable honesty in this music, an honesty that will resonate with young people. 10954056 SA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.25 le The Peanut Butter Song—Jean Berger/arr. Michael Ryan. "A peanut sat on a railroad track, his heart was all a-flutter. Along came the four-fifteen. Toot, toot, peanut butter."

ME 2.20 l Pie Jesu—Russell Robinson. Robinson has used the well-known Latin text of Pie Jesu to craft a fresh original piece for developing treble choirs. Shifting tonalities and a plaintive melody line give the opportunity to teach phrasing and musical expression, while the conservative ranges and underlying piano accompaniment make it easy for students to find success. 11001258 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.00 l Sing to Me—Cynthia Gray. A fitting response to the inevitable periods of sadness and strife that are part of the human experience, Ella Wheeler Wilcox's text expresses the power of music to heal the heart and touch the soul.

ME 2.10 le Song for the Earth—Natalie Sleeth.

E 2.05 l Star Canon (with Pachelbel's Canon in D)—David Waggoner.

A delicate balance of round- and partner-singing makes this an ideal selection for younger groups to learn to sing in harmony. 10997487 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Unison voices anchor the song, followed by two-part writing that allows for vocal independence. This is a wonderful teaching vehicle for your students to discover dynamic contrasts, beautiful word painting, and a chance to learn about one of America's earliest and most important African American poets. 10954040 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

ME 2.05 lD Thunder Drums (Sounds of Nature)—Roger Emerson. "Street" e bucket drumming has become a popular music classroom activity and is appealing because of its reliance on found materials, the overabundance of plastic, and its general coolness factor. This dynamic original pairs bucket drums with choir, seamlessly blending the two disciplines into a rock anthem with style. Creative and original! 10954046 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.10 l4 Topsy-Turvy World—Christopher Fox.

ME 2.05 l The Two Faces of Autumn—Christopher Fox. Two contrasting fall-themed original pieces combine in this concert selection for younger treble choirs. The first "face" is foot-stomping fun with body percussion and a singable pentatonic melody in October's Party's hoedown barn dance, complete with fiddle. The Hush Before Winter follows with a gentler lullaby "face" that puts the piece to rest. 10999685 SA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.35 l4 Uh-Hum!
