e Never One Thing—May Erlewine/arr. Corie
Brown. Treble choirs will appreciate this
empowering text that invites us all to begin the
process of reclaiming and healing those parts
of ourselves that are, at the same time, both
vulnerable and powerful. This music is modern
and raw with notated parts for body percussion
and cajon. An opening unison a cappella section
sets up the rhythmic feel of these in-your-face
lyrics and style, and the piano joins later to
provide extra support and texture for the stacked
harmonies. Powerful!

This Is Thy Hour—Michael John Trotta. A
majestic opening unfolds to a rhythmic ostinato
that acts as the underpinning for the text of this
work. A plaintive middle section contrasts with
legato vocal lines for the text "thee fully forth
emerging." The work concludes by revisiting
the opening material and ends with triumphant
homophonic chords before a restatement of the
softer middle section, expressing the wonder of
that which the poet loves best. May be performed
as part of a collection of four Whitman settings by
the composer.

t What's Keeping You from Singing?—
Elizabeth Alexander. A soulful reminder of music's
power to lift the heart during hard times, What's
Keeping You from Singing? addresses the joy and
well-being so easily obscured by depression's
somber cloud. This song's memorable refrain
poses four questions key to spiritual healing, as
framed by cultural anthropologist Angeles Arrien:
"When did you stop dancing? When did you stop
singing? When did you stop being enchanted
by stories? When did you stop finding comfort
in the sweet territory of silence?" With delicious
close harmonies and down-to-earth warmth,
What's Keeping You from Singing? offers choral
communities a way to hold loving space for these
challenging questions.

"May you always remember when the shadows
fall, you do not walk alone." This ethereal setting
of a traditional Irish blessing is scored for SATB
divisi voices and piano with deft strokes of Celtic
styling and a melody that weaves throughout the
vocal texture. Gradually building in intensity, it
transitions into the final stanza with a burst of light,
aided by the key change, then slowly draws to a
quiet close.
