D The Puzzle—Andy Beck. This charmer reads like step-by-
L
step instructions for assembling a jigsaw puzzle. Providing
the perfect lesson plan to teach part singing, this selection
has each part singing their own eight-bar melody, the two
melodies combining, then joining in simple parallel harmony
on the refrain. Teachers will thoroughly appreciate the easy-
to-play piano part and compact vocal ranges. A fun song
about points of view, or voice parts, coming together.

D Refuge—Audrey Snyder. American poet Sara Teasdale's
text provides a mature perspective on the value of music
that can be understood and appreciated even by developing
choruses. This artistic setting is developed and musically
satisfying with its suspensions, clusters, and stretched

young choirs. Truly a well constructed and valuable piece!
