"Celebrate, celebrate! Shout! Shout! Shout!" This exciting original will be equally effective for holiday or general concert performances. The rhythmic underlay gives it a colorful, effervescent quality that will energize your singers! With or without percussion, it is a great piece to start off the school year for middle school or intermediate high school choirs! Highly recommended! 10437427 Three-Part Mixed . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10437429 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10455146 Teaching P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . 26.99 Ht 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 l Sing to Me—Andrea Ramsey. "Sing to me! Something of sunlight and bloom..." An uplifting text by Ella Wheeler Wilcox is set to charming music in this wonderful piece with melodic interest in all parts and conservative ranges. Ramsey's sensitive, skillful writing makes for tender moments that truly evoke the meaning of the text. Now available for mixed voices, this has long been a favorite with festival choirs in the two- part version. 10457609 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.05 10291193 Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 Ht Soon Ah Will Be Done—arr. William Dawson. Another in the series of authentic African-American spirituals from the pen of William Dawson, this remains consistently popular year after year! 568717 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 H 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 Ht The Star Spangled Banner—arr. Russ Robinson. This full-sounding, "no-frills" a cappella setting of our national anthem will come in handy on many occasions for years to come. A very practical, straightforward arrangement that will be easy to prepare and inspiring to perform! This is a must in every choral library! 3083938 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.85 3298199 Three-Part Mixed . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 3282738 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 3304346 Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.75 H The Storm Is Passing Over—Charles Albert Tindley/arr. Barbara W. Baker. This is a lot of fun! Even choirs with limited experience singing gospel music will be able to perform the syncopated and heavily accented vocal parts with ease. The final repeated chorus features stunning dynamic contrasts, hand claps and a dramatic ritard before the final ending. A very strong choice! 3093036 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 5467071 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 H 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 He Take Me to the Water—arr. Rollo Dilworth. The traditional spirituals Down by the Riverside and Wade in the Water are joined with the original Take Me to the Water to create a gospel-style choral that packs a triple punch! This is exceptionally well done! Highly recommended! 10010513 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10070027 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 4e There is Peace—Jim Papoulis. The essence of this work, in a world of conflict and violence, is the need for a deep understanding that peace can come from all of us. After the opening phrase, "Look in the eyes of the children, feel the touch of their hands, there is peace," the verse enters, with a full, yet still gentle sound. The refrain is more celebratory, followed by a quiet bridge and an ending which is calm and introspective, much like the opening. 10438974 Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 n Three Quotes by Mark Twain—Andrea Ramsey. This delightfully provocative piece for treble voices is based on three very short, witty texts by Mark Twain: The Silent Fool; Telling the Truth and My Dear Mother. The music changes with each short section, moving from ragtime to a waltz and finally to the blues. Great fun for all! 10080294 SA or Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 H 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 t 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 n Tundra—Charles A. Silvestri & Ola Gjeilo. Majestic scenes from Ola Gjeilo's native Norway inspired Charles Silvestri's text for this contemporary tone poem. The words and music are fused in a poignant, lyrical way to convey the intense beauty of the landscape. An excellent winter feature or festival choice for mature women's choirs. 10276418 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.45 10297376 Instrumental Parts . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 Ht 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. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.35 10046201 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.20 10067366 TTBB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.20 t Wana Baraka—arr. Shawn L. Kirchner. This upbeat Kenyan folk song is a popular choice for concert and festival choirs. The arrangement builds with great excitement, leading to an extensive rhythmic play on the word "alleluya." 3298859 SSATBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 3303468 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10054840 TTBB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 t 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 When I Close My Eyes—Jim Papoulis & Francisco Nunez. "When I close my eyes then I can see that I am not afraid." This song of confidence and hope for young voices resonates with positive lyrics, a strong melody and an expressive accompaniment for piano and cello. Written in ABA form, the message is enhanced with the contrasting middle section that is a clear declaration of belief in oneself. An enriching choral statement that we recommend very highly! 3299169 Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10086103 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26.99 n Will There Really Be a Morning?—Craig Hella Johnson. This marvelous setting of the famous Emily Dickinson poem has become a standard selection on state and regional festival lists. 10015881 SA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.80 H Worthy to Be Praised—Byron J. Smith. Opening rubato, this robust work soon breaks into a driving gospel feel that will raise the roof! If you're looking for a piece that will give your audience a rousing experience, this is definitely worth looking at! 1896430 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10452930 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 4e You'll Never Walk Alone (with Climb Ev'ry Mountain)—Rodgers & Hammerstein/arr. Mark Hayes. Two of Rodgers and Hammerstein's most beloved songs are powerfully set together in a combo of great emotion and strength. Whether performing with the exquisite piano accompaniment, full orchestral parts, or accompaniment track, your choir will stir every heart in the audience, and bring them to their feet in applause. With opportunities for solos, it's a fantastic finale selection for mixed and women's choirs. 10454095 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10454096 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10454097 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10454098 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26.99 10454099 Instrumental Parts . . . . . . . . . . 50.00 H Zion's Walls—Aaron Copland/arr. Koponen. The memorable melody from Copland's "Promise of Living" will be recognized by all in this revivalist song. This arrangement takes the masterwork and makes it attainable by any size and caliber choir. It has very little divisi, great vocal ranges and a supportive piano accompaniment. Impressive in concert or festival settings. Don't miss it! 1478338 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 1478346 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 1478353 TTBB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 3274644C Choral Master Track. . . . . . . . . . 4.99
