tonight! You may forget the warmth he gave, I will
forget the light..."

that's lost, I ask for one day where whispers of hope
are alive inside my heart." These words, written
by 5th graders in a writing workshop, moved the
composer to create this inspiring work.

4 Is It Music?Nick Page. This charming original
piece re-creates the conversation between a pair
of birds as they observe children singing. The birds
consider what the sounds are, why the sounds are
made, and most importantly, "Is it music?" With
playful tempo shifts, dramatic fermatas, comic
interjections, and a tender final realization that
declares "Yes, it's music!" This piece sets up the
educational opportunity to challenge your students
to think about what music really is. Wonderful!

4 The LighthouseAndy Beck. The title of this
piece, though it never actually appears in the lyrics,
provides an overarching metaphor for the text.
The ebb and flow of the piano accompaniment
represents a turbulent sea, while the text presents
themes of strength, guidance, and living by example
in this inspirational choral. Superb voice leading,
along with sweeping musicality and phrasing, make
the warm harmonic twists and turns accessible for
any choir. Expressive and elevating!

Listen to the RainStephen L. Lawrence. This
imaginative piece will captivate your audience with
the sounds and sensations of a thunderstorm.
The whispered opening and lyrical melody set the
mood for an intriguing moment when the audience
actually becomes part of the performance. One
or more singers, the Rain Leaders, lead them
in creating a remarkably realistic-sounding
thunderstorm (using body percussion). From the
hush of the wind preceding the rain to the climactic
crash of the thunder, the effect is breathtaking!
Performance notes and ideas are included, along
with an opening narration.

ROUNDS PLUS
Traditional Rounds
with Ostinatos for
Changing Voices
arr. Roger Emerson. Rounds
are a wonderful way to introduce
harmony to young singers! However,
traditional rounds often have too
wide a range for changing voices,
so this collection was created with
the male changing voice in mind.
Fun and easy-to-sing ostinatos for
the changing male voice accompany
ten familiar rounds sung by treble
voices. Additionally, each round
is presented with two key options
to accommodate the cambiata,
mid-voice and new baritone range
comfortably. Experiment with other
keys until you find your choirs' sweet
spot vocally. This experimentation
will give you a good idea of the range
and tessitura that will be effective
for your group, which you can
then apply to your choral literature
selection process. This reproducible
collection of unaccompanied
rounds may be taught entirely by
ear or duplicated for sight-reading
purposes. Titles include: Dona Nobis
Pacem; Down by the Bay; Heigh
Ho, Nobody's Home; Jubilate Deo;
London's Burning; Music Alone Shall
Live and more.
