Gerald Custer. One of Brahms' best- known love songs is now available in this sensi- tively scored arrangement, which retains the harmonic richness of the original while making the work accessible to high school choirs. The strophic setting takes voice leading into careful consideration. IPA pronunciation guide is provided for the German text. 10590283 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 H Adiemus—Karl Jenkins. Although this is an original work, the words, which simulate a tribal language, give it a world-music feeling. In fact, the chant-like character of the piece almost makes you feel as though you are taking part in a tribal ritual. A compelling work that has become popular in festivals and regional choral activities. Now available in SA voicing. 3165875 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 3118460 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 10609878 SA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 4 Agnus Dei—Christi Jones. This lovely original pairs a simple setting of the traditional Latin text with a countermelody in the accompaniment of Bach's Air on the G String. The Air appears first in the piano introduction, then in the optional descant for either voices or flute. Short and very sweet, it will give your beginning singers an opportunity to sing beautifully crafted sustained phrases that fit perfectly with Bach's masterpiece. Highly recommended! 10585393 SA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 4 All My Trials—arr. Gwyneth Walker. A very poignant song. Phrases such as "Hush little baby, don't you cry, you know your mama was born to die," or "Oh my brothers, I must leave you here behind," view the approach of death in terms of those left behind. The accompaniment of repeated eighth-note chords is marked as if trembling or sobbing. Although the harmonic language is tonal and consonant almost entirely throughout the song, a few dissonances appear near the end, reflecting the pain of parting. 10606148 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.90 10606149 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 4t All Night, All Day—arr. Andy Beck. "...angels e watchin' over me, my Lord." This superb a cappella arrangement of the traditional spiritual is a guaranteed success! The basses sing an independent line, which provides a rhythmic backdrop for triadic harmony in the upper voices, while contoured dynamics add interest. The optional shaker and conga parts are a great addition! Highly recommended! 10604262 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 4 Alway Something Sings—Dan Forrest. The grandeur of Ralph Waldo Emerson's "skyborn music" text creates a canvas for Dan Forrest's magnificent sonorities in this superb selection for choir and soloist with piano or optional strings. Breathtaking in its beauty and imagery! 10557305 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10557307 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10557322E Instrumental Parts ePrint . . . . . 25.00 te Amani (Peace)—Audrey Snyder. The Swahili text of this African-style original is a joyful celebration of peace, set for a cappella voices with shaker and drums (included in the score). Somewhat reminiscent of O Sifuni Mungu, it has everything you want for a truly festive cross- cultural experience! Now available in a 2-part voicing.

Brilliant orchestrations add a towering impact to the whole, and the gigantic ending makes this setting an excellent choice as a service or concert closer.

Craig Courtney. These transcriptions, for mixed, treble and male choirs, of this famous Schubert song offer the perfect material for teaching free, bel canto-style singing, German diction, and "arch and taper" phrasing. With its strophic form and relatively simple melody, the piece can be easily learned, allowing time to focus on and develop expressive phrasing and musicality. English translation is included in this wonderful introduction to Schubert Lieder for high school choirs! Highly recommended! 10606980 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 10606981 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 10606984 TTBB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 4 And the Glory of the Lord (from "Messiah")— G.F.

Extremely expressive, complemented by luscious harmonies and a rich accompaniment, this lovely work will showcase choirs of all ages.
