"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 Thankful—arr. Mark Hayes. Recorded by Josh Groban, this inspirational song has a timeless message that everyone can relate to. "It's up to us to be the change, and even though we all can still do more, there's so much to be thankful for..." Mark Hayes' moving arrangement is beautifully orchestrated, adding to the rich vocal harmonies that set the exquisite melody and text. Perfect for every choir at any time year, including graduation and church dedications. 10489926 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10489927 SAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10489931 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10489929 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10489930 TTB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10489932 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26.99 10489933E Instrumental Parts ePrint. . . . . . 55.00 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. 10519391 SATB/Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10438974 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 4t Three A Cappella Latin Settings—Jerry Estes. Developing choirs will be motivated and engaged by this unique set of three, short, original a cappella pieces. Written in contrasting styles, the opening Gloria In Excelsis Deo is exuberant and features a soloist or small group. An expressive Et In Terra Pax is followed by a vibrant and rhythmic Alleluia. Whether performed individually or as a set, at Christmas, or in a general concert setting or festival at school or church, this wonderful teaching piece has many valuable uses. A Learning Resource Page is included. 10512811 Three-Part Mixed. . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 H 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 4tTongo—arr. Greg Gilpin. This traditional canoe e song from Polynesia sounds very impressive with just two voice parts, hand claps, and percussion instruments. The echoing voice parts suggest people communicating from canoe to canoe as they travel between islands. The Polynesian text is simple, with a pronunciation guide. This is a refreshing change of pace in the multicultural category! Highly recommended! 10515746 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10514270 TB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 H Tres Cantos Nativos—arr. Marcos Leite. This exciting work is freely based on three melodies sung by the Kurao tribe - a group of native Brazilian indians living in the forests of northern Brazil. Percussive rhythms and vocal layers are enhanced with live percussion instruments and effective hand claps to bring unique musical colors to your concert hall. A popular choice for festivals and all-state choirs. 5539655 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.75 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 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 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 10513312 Piano Transcription for SATB Only . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 8.95 10046201 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.20 10067366 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.20 4 Ubi Caritas—Victor C. Johnson. A beautiful, tender setting of the traditional Latin text that features delicate melodic lines and a fluid accompaniment. The contrasting middle section provides interest and movement, and the echoed phrases, independent vocal lines, and limited ranges allow for it to be easily mastered for concert or festival. A pronunciation guide and translation are included. 10512921 Three-Part Mixed. . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 10512922 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10512923 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27.95 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 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 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 H Why We Sing—Greg Gilpin. The consummate concert closer! "A sound of hope, a sound of peace, a sound that celebrates and speaks what we believe. A sound of love, a sound so strong. It's amazing what is given when we share a song. This is why we sing..." You won't find a better song than this one for combined choirs celebrating the joy of music! Highly recommended! 3303113 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 3303243 SAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 3303244 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10009366 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10009367 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 3303280 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26.99 3701788 Instrumental Parts Full Orchestra . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 55.00 n Will There Really Be a Morning?—Craig Hella Johnson.

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
