beautiful work, excerpted from the composer's
highly acclaimed "Lux Aeterna," is an important
contribution to the literature for a cappella choirs.

He 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!

Hanukkah feature. Very highly recommended!

H
The Pasture—Z. Randall Stroope. Robert Frost's
elegant poetry harkens to a simpler time and Randall
Stroope's choral setting is both lush and expressive.
Clear vocal lines and rich harmonies sing beautifully
over a supportive accompaniment, while the meter
changes at the slower tempo give the work a
freedom in line and motion. Masterfully done.

Hayes. This moving anthem of hope, embraced
by choirs around the world for many years, is
now available in this new arrangement with
piano or orchestra accompaniment. Lush choral
writing and an inspired instrumentation treat
the work with due reverence and respect. At
the very end, two measures sung in Croatian

whole world. Highly recommended!

H Requiem—Eliza Gilkyson/arr. 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.

4tRun, Mary, Run—Brian Tate. Encouragement,
e determination and fundamental human rights
sing out in this spiritual with the powerful line,
"You got a right to the tree of life!" Sung with a
diverse range of vocal sound in a loose, gospel-
like style, this a cappella setting of the traditional
spiritual includes an optional part for djembe.
With easy harmony and very effective repetition,
it really percolates!

Ht Salmo 150 (Psalm 150)—Ernani Aguiar. A very
rhythmic work, with rapid articulations, this is an
exciting showcase for a cappella choirs. Written

distinctive Latin American feeling that will really
light a fire under your singers!

H 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.

of this lovely, accessible work for women's or
children's choirs.

H Seize the Day—arr. Roger Emerson. From
award-winning composer Alan Menken, this is
the exciting show-stopper from the Disney movie
"Newsies." Featuring a very strong "brotherhood"
text, it begins with a chorale-like opening and then
drives to a riveting climax. Powerful!

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.

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.

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.

4t A Social Madrigal—Nathan Howe. In this clever
e madrigal novelty, 16th-century harmony meets
21st-century technology! It sings the story of a
couple falling in love, with some help from Google,
Facebook, and Twitter. Performed a cappella or
with optional piano, it is simply delightful in the way
the words of today are sung as though by singers
in Shakespeare's time. Optional narration is
provided to add to the fun! Highly recommended!

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..."

e Stars I Shall Find—Victor C. Johnson. "There
will be rest, and sure stars shining over the
rooftops crowned with snow, a reign of rest,
serene forgetting, the music of stillness holy and
low." This masterful setting of Sara Teasdale's
picturesque poem sparkles with wonderful
musical imagery! Soaring melodic lines, an artfully
crafted accompaniment, contrasting dynamics,
and warm, colorful harmonies create a magical
effect. This is an extraordinarily good choice for
performances all year! Highly recommended!

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!
