H mnia Sol (Let Your Heart Be Staid)—
Z. Randall Stroope. This composition by Z.
Randall Stroope is simply too good not to
consider for your mixed or treble choir. The
composer's English text speaks to the human
need to anchor words of love and commitment
in the hearts of those who have been pillars along
life's way. Omnia sol temperat, "the sun warms
everything," comes from a verse of Latin found in
"Carmina Burana." An important contribution to
the choral literature!

4t eze Kafe—arr. Sten Kallman. The perfect
P
change-of-pace number for any concert, this
colorful arrangement of a Haitian folk song has
lots of fun rhythms and sounds that you just want
to keep singing and hearing. It has an infectious
rhythmic groove, vocal percussion, and plenty of
repetition. The Haitian words are easy to learn
as they tell the story of a young boy who loses
the coffee he's supposed to sell at the market,
which gets him in trouble with his mother. It's
very catchy!

Copland's quintet from "The Tender Land"
translates beautifully into this setting for combined
chorus with band! Although it makes a perfect
choice for Thanksgiving, the wonderful vocal
lines make it a magnificent showpiece any time
of year. The SATB choral part can stand alone,
and offers a piano 4 hands accompaniment.
The optional concert band accompaniment is
at the medium level and requires the choral part
for performance. It's a fantastic way to program
music by a great American composer!
