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." 11337825 SA with Cello accompaniment . . . . . . . 2.10 le Songs My Heart Has Taught Me— Bob Chilcott.

The darkness in disguise becomes the light in me." 11338687 SSAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 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. 10907470 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 11337862 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 11313007F SATB Part-Dominant MP3s . . . . . . . . 49.99 lL Ukholo Iwami/iSabata—arr.

Jacob Narverud. e From the 19th century to 2021, this traditional folksong from New Zealand experienced new life as a viral hit on the social media site TikTok. The sea-shanty-like ballad tells a whalin' story of the hopeful Wellerman ship coming to bring supplies. This rousing arrangement is great fun and highly accessible as it can be performed with either the piano accompaniment or a cappella. 11338397 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 11338398 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 l Where Do We Find Joy?—Jim Papoulis.
