t My Feet Are Tired, but My Soul Is Resting—
Francis Smith Thomas/arr. Shawn Kirchner. This
song by Francis Smith Thomas, a close friend of
the Martin Luther King, Jr. family, was inspired
by the words of a woman who participated in the
Montgomery bus boycott, a pivotal event in the
civil rights movement. This powerful hymn-like
arrangement opens with a soprano solo written
in honor of Coretta Scott King, who premiered the
piece as a soprano solo.

t
My Heart Be Brave—Marques L.A. Garrett.
Setting inspiring words by James Weldon
Johnson, this work is poignant and stirring,
encouraging singers and listeners to reflect on the
challenges of present times and to move forward
with courage and strength towards a brighter
future. The choral writing beautifully reflects the
powerful text, leading us towards a climactic
reminder that "Tho' thick the battle and tho' fierce
the fight, there is power in making for the right."
An ideal choice for choirs looking to address
issues of social justice in their programming.

O Danny Boy—arr. Bob Chilcott. Written for the
BBC Last night of the Proms, this sensitive setting
of the well-known Irish folk song does justice to
the beauty of the original melody. Chilcott's
harmonic subtleties add to the poignancy of the
lyrics, expressing and elevating the sentiments of
loss and longing.

poignant rendition of this song. This arrangement
is an excellent singable adaptation for choirs
featuring very close harmonies that reflect the
closeness of the friendship in the lyrics.

warm texture.

t
The Parting Glass—arr. Sarah Quartel. A
traditional Scottish song often sung as a farewell
at the end of a get-together. Sarah Quartel's
a cappella arrangements of this piece are very
straightforward and singable. They feature
close harmonies, idiomatic Scotch snap
rhythms, and effective interjectory moments in
a homophonic texture.

t
Pax Domine—David Lantz III. This challenging
a cappella anthem uses Latin phrases to convey
the theme of peace. A short section in English,
"Lord, grant us peace", gives way to a return of
the opening text, "Pax, Domine". Appropriate for
general use, memorials, Holy Week, and as a
prayer response, its lush harmonies and effective
voice leading also make it highly suitable for
concert performance.

t Pyramid Song—arr. Geoff Lawson. Sublime and
otherworldly, this arrangement of the iconic song
by Radiohead holds true to the original. Flowing
and mysterious, tranquil yet pensive, this concert
piece from VOCES8 is both simple and complex
- and endlessly fascinating.

t The Radium Girl—Michael Bussewitz-Quarm.
Based on the tragic story of the "Radium Girls"
- young women who were exposed to radium
as part of their work in clock factories who
eventually died from the exposure. This piece is
intended to shine a light on these women and
other people working in tragic conditions through
the power of song. Unique overtone singing and
interesting musical textures express the text in a
creative way.

L Reconcile—Kyle Pederson. Hoping to inspire
reconciliation on a community and individual
level, the composer seeks to build a caring
community and find unity through this melodic
piece. Blending elements of pop and gospel, and
providing an optional descant layer in Swahili,
this musical offering reinforces the universality
of its themes. Separate voicings can be sung
simultaneously for combined choirs, and space is
provided for optional narration to further explore
the concept of reconciliation. A flexible, timely,
and accessible piece for all ensembles.

DL Refuge—Elaine Hagenberg. Sara Teasdale's
poem is the inspiration for this dramatic concert
work which relies heavily on the tumultuous piano
and cello accompaniment to convey the deep
feeling of the text. The opening section is dark and
stormy, but the sun comes out in the final section
with serene moments of mostly unaccompanied
choral harmonies. "For with my singing I can make
a refuge for my spirit's sake, a house of shining
words, to be my fragile immortality."

D
Responsibility—Mark Sirett. Jewish leader
and scholar Hillel the Elder captures the
tension between the need for healthy self-care
and the importance of caring for others. This
contemporary arrangement combines the ancient
Hebrew text with modern English lyrics to create
an elegant and folklike setting.

L The River—Susan LaBarr. With a sense of
fluidity and freedom, this original work feels
like a folk song that's existed forever. Flexibly
accompanied by piano alone or any combination
of bluegrass instruments that fit your ensemble,
the easygoing melody is a perfect pairing with Bill
Cairns' text about life's journeys, opportunities,
and growth.
