Journey On
Derrick Fox.
This sweet and simple original song, with a lilting melody and folk-like
harmonies, illustrates the impact of the relationships that we build
throughout our lives. Optimistic about the future, the text speaks of
friendships, journeying together, and then journeying apart. It's a
terrific choice for graduation or moving-up ceremonies, or for saying
goodbye to a teacher or friend.

Justitiae Domine
Michael John Trotta.
Beautiful a cappella harmonies on a Latin text from Psalm 19 are a
wonderful way to develop part independence and musical sensitivity.
Opening on a simple unison note, the harmonies build in accessible
counterpoint before a contrasting homophonic middle section. Lyrical
and expressive, this piece is suitable for concerts, festivals, and
services.

Lakeside Lullaby
Jacob Narverud.
Following up on his stunning Lunar Lullaby, Narverud returns with
another original lullaby, this time evoking a tranquil lakeside setting.
The piece inspires musical sensitivity with lush harmonies and
suspended cluster cadences, gentle melodies, and a flowing piano
accompaniment that offers a constant spinning motion to support the
choral lines. Beautiful!

Down the Silver Road
Sarah Quartel.
This selection is a comforting and uplifting setting of the poem To F.W.
by Edith Franklin Wyatt, which describes the joy of growing old with a
companion. It was premiered by the choir of Nazareth College, New
York at a concert specifically for individuals living with Alzheimer's
or other dementias and their families and caregivers. Alongside the
flowing lyrical melodies is a simple vocal part that can be taught to
audience members who may be encouraged to join in when it occurs.

Empire of Blue
Rob Deitz.
In a style that is equal parts contemporary and historic, this unique
concert work employs a variety of vocal styles, including contemporary
a cappella, overtone singing, vocal jazz, and shape note/sacred
harp. Quoting the folk hymn The Lone Wild Bird, which grapples with
understanding our place in the world, this piece resonates with a
youthful voice and style that will surely be impactful.

Follow the Drinking Gourd
arr. Greg Gilpin.
Recognized for its connection to the Underground Railroad by signaling
the direction north, this traditional spiritual offers many teaching
moments. This exciting arrangement is rhythmic and well supported
by the piano accompaniment, and each choral line has the opportunity
to sing the melody as well as independent harmony lines and stacked
ostinatos that create an exciting texture.

Gloria
Ondi Yohan Tambunan.
With the traditional Latin lyrics "Gloria in excelsis Deo," this setting is
anything but traditional. Including some chant as well as stomping and
clapping throughout, this almost has the feel of a Maori haka, and the
music embodies the joy of its lyrics.

Ha Rese Re Bina
arr. Mbuso Ndlovu.
Traditionally sung to celebrate a victory by a group of winners in a
competition, this South African "bragging" song is tons of fun to sing.
In five parts throughout, with the first sopranos taking the call and
the rest of the choir the response, this SeSotho and IsiXhosa song is
simple to put together. Add percussion and ululations for an authentic
South African sound to enhance your performance.
