Greg has taken the traditional Quaker text and positively supercharged it with his own gospel-styled music in this marvelous new look at a timeless American poem. This one has it all - a wide-open solo for your best gospel singer, an accompaniment that's fine as is, or can be embellished at will by your pianist, and hand claps from the very first measure that'll quickly spread through your audience or congregation. Highly recommended! 10352316 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 3298161 Three-Part Mixed . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10352293 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10192345 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 3298923 Multi-Song Accomp. CD . . . 25.00 Imbakwa—Jim Papoulis. Beautifully melodic, with a great beat and a great message, this "world music" piece has a text in Swahili which translates as, "We have a right." Imbakwa was written for the score of a film about an organization benefiting orphans in Tanzania. The organization, called TunaHAKI, uses the arts to empower children to have the future they deserve. A hand-drum part is included in the choral score. Highly recommended! 10340678 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10340678E SATB ePrint . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 Kusimama (Stand Tall)—Jim Papoulis. Kusimama is written in a world-music style that is accessible for choirs, both young and old, that are just beginning to be exposed to world rhythms and language - a sort of introduction to new languages, syllables, body percussion and style. The text in both Swahili and English is about standing tall on the earth, not with anger or aggression, but with hope, strength, acceptance, and positivity. The voices, along with hand claps, stomps, djembe, shaker and piano, all combine for an exciting world-music presentation. Highly recommended! 10308964 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10296741 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10296741E Two-Part ePrint . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 O Magnum Mysterium— Morten Lauridsen. An exemplary composition to display the musicianship of better a cappella choirs, this choral opus evokes the mystery of the Nativity with rich melodic and harmonic colors. Emotive and deeply fulfilling, it has become Lauridsen's most performed work. 1985530 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 Omnia 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! 10006501 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10006501E SATB ePrint . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10006502 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10006502E SSA ePrint . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10068270 Instrumental Parts Brass . . . 29.95 10068270E Instrumental Parts Brass ePrint . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 29.95 Praise His Holy Name—Keith Hampton. Captivate your choir and your audience with this extraordinary gospel original that has become a popular addition to concerts and festivals nationwide. Masterfully written with all the right ingredients, this is not an imitation, but high-energy gospel at its finest! Electrifying! 3168358 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.65 3295179 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.65 3168358C Choral Master Track . . . . . . . 4.99 Requiem—Craig Hella Johnson. Singer/songwriter Eliza Gilkyson wrote Requiem as a song of grief following the Asian tsunami in December 2004, and the song found a renewed audience after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast region. This setting by "Conspirare" conductor Craig Hella Johnson has been long anticipated by choral groups around the world and is powerful in its emotional impact. 10045096 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 Riversong—Andy Beck. "River, run me to the ocean. River, take me to the sea. River, show me to a distant shore. River, run! Set my spirit free..." Fluid vocal lines glide effortlessly over a shimmering piano accompaniment in this nature-inspired contemporary choral. Musical quotes from familiar "river" songs are a noteworthy surprise at the end. An extraordinary piece! Highly recommended! 10089275 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.85 10089277 SAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.80 10089278 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.85 10352529 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.85 10352529E Two-Part ePrint . . . . . . . . . . . 2.95 10088250 Multi-Song Accomp. CD . . . 39.99 The Road Home—Stephen Paulus. A perennial favorite with festival choirs, this exceptional work has become a standard in the repertoire. 8069226 SATB with Soprano Solo . . . . 1.99 10055133 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.99 10318244 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.99 The Seal Lullaby—Eric Whitacre. "Ah, weary wee flipperling, curl at thy ease! The storm shall not wake thee, nor shark overtake thee, asleep in the arms of the slow-swinging seas..." This charming poem by Rudyard Kipling is the inspiration for Eric Whitacre's magnificent choral setting. A beautiful, accessible work for choirs at the medium level. Highly recommended! 10058221 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10070521 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10279943 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 Sing Me to Heaven—Daniel Gawthrop. This sensitive work for SATB choir is so beautifully ethereal it will take your breath away. "If you would comfort me, sing me a lullaby. If you would win my heart, sing me a love song." Expansive while staying within the framework of four-part harmony, it is a conductor's choice for larger choral festivals and a superb feature for chamber vocal ensembles. 1778844 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 3302085 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 3057700 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 Stand Together—Jim Papoulis. From Jim Papoulis' Sounds of a Better World series, this original piece should be performed with an Irish flair that evokes a distant longing and yet is very hopeful in the present. The beginning of the song is gentle and soothing; gradually, the energy starts to increase, leading up to the refrain, "If we stand together, we will sing forever of the dreams growing in our hearts..." 10012627 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10029708 SSAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10013045 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26.99 Sure on this Shining Night— Morten Lauridsen. "Sure on this shining night of starmade shadows round, kindness must watch for me this side the ground..." In this third movement of his song cycle Nocturnes, Morten Lauridsen's flowing music captures all of the beauty and wonder of James Agee's poem. Set for accompanied SATB voices (with some divisi), and now for TTBB, this is a superb composition for better choirs! 3303314 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10083682 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 True Light—Keith Hampton. Opening phrases of the traditional spiritual This Little Light of Mine launch this exciting work into Keith Hampton's original words and music, which feature a sixteen-measure soprano solo sung to lines from tenth-century poet Grigor Narekatzi's Book of Mournful Chants: "Don't let the light that You've given me die, And don't desert my mind. But let the one who serves You Praise You again and again." The repeated responses "He lives in us as True Light" and "God gave the world True Light" give solid impact to every phrase. School and church choirs will revel in the spiritual depth and driving rhythmic feel of this extraordinarily soulful choral! 3700850 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 Tshotsholoza (Go Forward)— Jeffery L. Ames. Now available for mixed or men's voices, this rousing arrangement of the popular African freedom song has become a standard in the choral repertoire. With call-and- response vocals, African text, and rhythmic percussion accompaniment, it transports the listener to South Africa, where the song is often referred to as the "unofficial anthem" of the country. It was used in the soundtrack of the Oscar-nominated movie "Invictus," and served as South Africa's "battle call" at the 2010 World Cup. This is essential multicultural programming! Highly recommended! 10276407 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.15 3304220 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.15 Ubi Caritas—Ola Gjeilo. Originally published for mixed voices, this stunning work has reached a large audience in a very short time, and has been published in SSAA and TTBB voicings as well, to meet the growing demand. The reviews are in — it is an exceptionally strong choice for every a cappella choir! 10025943 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 10046201 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.20 10067366 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.05 Wanting Memories—Yasaye M. Barnwell. "I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me to see the beauty in the world through my own eyes..." As recorded by Sweet Honey in the Rock, this extraordinary a cappella piece speaks to everyone of the precious gift of life. 3225760 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 H H H H H H H H H Go to cart
