This stunning work for mixed choirs has its roots in jazz. The repetition of the word "love" throughout allows singers and audiences to focus on its various meanings and implications. A challenging work with an incredible impact. 11200612 SATB divisi . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.85 te Marie Madeleine—arr. Jeanette Gallant. Lively and engaging, this arrangement of an Acadian folksong features the quintessential elements of the tradition: podorythmie (seated foot-tapping), diddlage (mouth music), and the spoons. With playful vocal slides and energetic rhythmic motifs, this arrangement offers a modern twist on this well-loved melody from the French- Canadian oral tradition. 11315646 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 4.25 11315647 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 4.25 Music in the Air—arr. Ryan Murphy. "Over my head I hear music in the air, there must be a God somewhere." The traditional spiritual is a mix of hopeful lyrics about the future, despite our current afflictions. This setting brings an exciting new life to the traditional melody with an active piano part that moves the piece from lyrical to a syncopated gospel feel without breaking tempo or style. The choral parts employ traditional harmonies and some divisi in the final section to create a full- throated celebration of life. 11196611 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.95 t My Love Is Like a Red, Red Rose—Pietro Urbani/arr. Jim Clements. An a cappella SATB arrangement written for VOCES8 of the famous Scottish folk song with text by Robert Burns. 11195931 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 3.50 t Nature Boy—eden ahbez/arr. Anders Edenroth. "The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." This beautiful song was written by eden ahbez and made famous by Nat King Cole. This dynamic arrangement was created for The Real Group and translates well to full choir that loves a challenge! 11195773 SSATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.85 Old Joe Clark—arr. Dwight Bigler. This Appa- lachian folk song is tremendously fun. Fantastic and fun vocal lines are supported by a lively yet accessible piano accompaniment. Add spoons and clapping or stomping for a great time! 11167747 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.75 11195649 TTBB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.75 t One Day—arr. Richard Rodney Bennett. This beautiful ballad, arranged for The King's Singers, has a text that speaks of hope for a better and sweeter world where war and division are a distant memory. Filled with characteristically rich and colorful jazz harmonies, the listener travels on a sweet journey through unexpected harmonic patterns and an uplifting text. 11204902 SATBBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.50 t Poor Wayfaring Stranger—arr. Alexander Lloyd Blake. This arrangement of the beloved 18th- century spiritual fuses folk and jazz ideas to create a unique and fresh new version of the work. Scored for mixed voices and soloist, this work for advanced groups will fit well into any concert program. 11200697 SATB divisi . . . . . . . . . . . . . MA 2.75 t Poor Wayfaring Stranger (from "Four Amer- ican Folk Songs")—arr. Frank Ferko. Commiss- ioned by the Choir of Trinity College (Melbourne) for their U.S. concert tour in 2020. The textures of this work vary from spare to lush, reflecting the pathos of this mournful folk song. 11316634 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.35 t Pretty Saro (from "Appalachian Stories")— arr. David Chase. Extracted from the larger work Appalachian Stories, this second movement is a beautiful English folk ballad lost in its native land but preserved in Appalachia's oral tradition. A bluegrass fiddle part provides connective material throughout, but the otherwise a cappella texture employs the open, transparent harmonies indicative of the style. 11204933 SATB with Fiddle . . . . . . . . . M 2.25 Scarborough Fair—arr. Michael Higgins. Higgins' setting of this popular folk song opens simply and then moves along with gradually increasing contrapuntal interest. The lovely arpeggiated piano accompaniment flows gently alongside the vocal lines, creating suspensions that reflect the mystery of the text. 11195472 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 3.35 t She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain (from "Four American Folk Songs")—arr. Frank Ferko. Commissioned by the Choir of Trinity College (Melbourne) for their U.S. concert tour in 2020. With swinging rhythms and laughing motif throughout, this is the perfect conclusion to this set of four American folk songs. Eschewing weightier interpretations of the text, this setting is pure fun. 11316635 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.60 Since I Laid My Burden Down—arr. Kyle Pederson. This exuberant gospel setting of the traditional spiritual Glory, Glory Hallelujah partnered with the chorus of The Battle Hymn of the Republic incorporates elements of gospel, jazz, blues, and pop music and features a stylized piano accompaniment. Choral harmonies with gospel stacks and short solo features that combine into an exciting texture make this a real showstopper! 11190319 TBB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.25 t Skip to My Lou (from "Four American Folk Songs")—arr. Frank Ferko. Commissioned by the Choir of Trinity College (Melbourne) for their U.S. concert tour in 2020. This brisk and fun setting contains lots of interplay with some rather coy syncopation, at one point even inverting the tune itself. 11316632 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.35 Soon We Will Be Done—arr. Kyle Pederson. Building on the original text, this adaptation of the classic spiritual invites the listener to envision and commit to a better, more just world; a world of inclusion, radical kindness, compassion, love, and grace; a world where we have the courage to champion the inherent dignity and value of all people, a world where we will be done with all the ways we deny a person's worth. Spoken word is incorporated throughout, heightening the intensity of the performance, and giving a sense of immediacy to the challenge for the choir and audience to work together for justice, equity, and wholeness. 11197402 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.85 t Star-Spangled Banner—John Stafford Smith/ arr. Jacob J. Narverud. Elegant and creative, Narverud's concert setting of the national anthem is destined to become a classic. His masterful harmonies for mixed divisi choirs are challenging, but not overdone. A perfect signature anthem arrangement! 11202490 TTBB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.10 t This Old Hammer (from "Appalachian Stories")—arr. David Chase. Extracted from the larger four-movement work Appalachian Stories comes this rousing arrangement of the traditional American folk song. Set for mixed chorus with a fiddle accompaniment that ties the movements together, this otherwise a cappella piece incorporates some simple body percussion and an authentic presentation of the history and character of this song. 11205223 SATB divisi . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.95 Three American Songs—arr. Michael Higgins. Higgins' arrangements of three traditional North American songs are sophisticated and beautiful, supported by well-crafted piano accompaniments. The first, Bright Morning Stars, is illuminated by a shimmering piano part with opportunities for a soloist or small group. Energy and bounce is abundant throughout the second, Little Wheel A-Turnin', as the melody is passed between the voices and colored with interesting harmonies. The last piece, He's Gone Away, is a parting song between two lovers; with flowing melodies and accompaniment, it ends on a note of anticipation. 11193335 SATB divisi . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 4.25 Two Welsh Songs—arr. Michael Neaum. This work weaves two familiar Welsh folk songs into a charming work for SSAA choir and piano. It moves from simple two-part to three-part and then to a four-part a cappella divisi statement of the beautiful Welsh lullaby Suo Gan. 11202014 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.60 t Wade in the Water—arr. Jim Clements. This traditional spiritual, a song of faith and hope, is dynamically arranged for unaccompanied voices. Originally written for the Worcester Cathedral Chamber Choir and adapted for VOCES8, this work is as enjoyable to listen to as to sing. 11195953 SSAATTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . MA 4.50 Wayfarin' Stranger—arr. Linda Spevacek. Intriguingly different, this jazzy, bluesy setting of the classic spiritual really does pop with its fun, stylized piano accompaniment. With quite a bit of independence in the vocal lines, it is easy to teach and fun to sing. 11172872 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.20 t We Shall Overcome—arr. Shelton Ridge Love. A strong, resolute setting of the familiar civil rights "marching song" vividly calls to mind the images which add depth of meaning and emotion to the notes sung. From the distant beginning to the powerful final statement, this arrangement calls us to stand with, and for all those in the long fight for justice. A cappella, this powerful setting may be sung in any location. 11314193 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.15 11314194 TTBB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.15 Wild Mountain Thyme—arr. Karen Marrolli. This piece is a combination of two traditional Scottish tunes: Wild Mountain Thyme, sung by tenor-bass chorus, and the popular Scottish reel Whiskey Before Breakfast, played as a counterpoint by the violin. The two tunes come together to highlight the playful nature of Robert Tannahill's text, which speaks of going out to "pluck wild mountain thyme" with one's love in the romantic blush of spring. 11199381 TTBB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.35 AMERICANA COLLEGIATE CHOIR
