bombing, it is easily singable by young choirs
as well as more experienced school or church
choirs. An excellent pronunciation guide/
translation is included. At the close of the
work, a whispered, murmured chant on "dona

There Is More Love Somewhere—arr.
Adam Podd & Matt Podd. More love, more
hope, and more joy! This traditional spiritual is a
plea for peace and unity, and this arrangement
makes it accessible to any choir. Its simple
harmonies unfold beautifully over three or four
repetitions with a well-crafted accompaniment
that doesn't get in the way. The strophic form
makes it very easy to learn. The accompaniment
MP3 includes a shorter version and a longer
version with the cuts indicated in the score
for added flexibility. Also available as a virtual
choir kit. In an effort to continue the promotion
and proliferation of these, and other important
forms of musical expression rooted in Black
culture, we (Adam and Matt Podd) donate an
industry-standard "royalty" rate from the profits
of any public domain music we have arranged
which is attributed to non-white sources. This
royalty will go to various non-profit organizations
which support black musical arts and artists -
especially in those traditions from which we
have been most heavily influenced.
