le Dear World—Mikeila McQueston, Alana
Scott & Hannah Rice. Elementary school students

composers in this set of songs that powerfully and poignantly
offers their response. The first song, I Will Bless You, is
accompanied, while the remaining two, There Can Be No
Numbers and To Fly a Plane, are for a cappella divisi choir.

This dynamic work for treble chorus attempts to shed light
on the crisis facing hundreds of thousands of families who

and refuge. The xylophone part really adds another layer to

exceptionally well.

say simply, very simply, with hope - Good morning."

l The Song I Came to Sing—
Craig Hella Johnson. Accompanied by cello,
the choral lines weave and dip as they provide delicious
tension between the stretched duple rhythms and the lilting
compound meter of the setting. The plaintive quality of the
melody perfectly sets the text that speaks of longing for an
encounter that has not yet happened - thus, "The song I
came to sing remains unsung."

school students, this introspective text taps into the thoughts,
fears, and hopes of our young people. The message and
spirit of this inspirational song will support young people who

the eyes, fading slowly. The darkness in disguise becomes
the light in me."

lt Threads of Joy—Dale Trumbore.
e This song of happiness and celebration of the human
experience is set in a minor key. The harmonic language
acknowledges that we can't have joy without recognizing its
opposite. The undertones point out that this is not just an
exultation of happiness but also suggests how we emerge
from darkness and pain back into light. The music captures
this duality in ever-shifting prismatic harmonies.

to create a soundscape that blends the traditional with
the modern in a way that is profound and artistic. With
additional text added in both Latin and English, the
original sections surround the traditional melody in a way
that portrays the longing of the text - that "we shall walk
through the valley in peace."

the celebration of new life in our families and communities.

with piano and optional percussion for shaker and djembe.
Inspirational words, syncopated rhythms, and the interplay
between the voices make this an appealing choice.
