Lovely melodic lines over equally lovely harmonic textures which include some cluster harmonies paired with passages about love make this a memorable work for both the singers and the audience. The flowing piano accompaniment adds much to the musical texture and timbre of the work. Highly recommended! 10805548 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.05 Rain Music Victor C. Johnson. This forward-moving, rhythmically driven music enhances the dramatic, image-laden text of Kentucky-born poet and playwright Joseph S. Cotter, Jr. Shifting mixed meter is very effective in giving this selection a dance-like quality. Close harmonies, especially in the contrasting middle section, and effective unison, two-, three- and four-part writing throughout heighten the musical effect. Optional parts for rain stick and djembe. 10810613 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.25 10810613L SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.25 10736776 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.25 San'bonani/Namhla Kudibene Michael Barrett. A typical greeting in the Zulu culture, this arrangement is written with the call-and-response technique so strongly associated with traditional South African music. The soloists can be male or female and can take their time when performing their parts. The response from the choir "Hololo hololo" is jubilant and may contain ululating and other traditional African noises. Simple hand gestures and waving towards the audience is appropriate. This is a perfect opener and an opportunity for a choir to be walking among the audience as they welcome them. 10765574 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.10 10765574L SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.10 Shout unto God Heather Sorenson. A fanfare-like choral setting for SATB chorus with divisi, this sacred text from the Psalms sparkles with fresh harmonies in a dynamic modern setting. A cappella throughout, with an optional part for string bass and triangle, this arrangement is an enthralling choral statement appropriate for the concert stage or worship service. Highly recommended! 10801495 SATB divisi . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.10 Let All the World in Every Corner Sing (Antiphon from "Five Mystical Songs") Ralph Vaughan Williams/arr. Craig Courtney. A stunning, 4-hand-accompanied setting of the George Herbert/Ralph Vaughan Williams classic, adapted and edited by Craig Courtney. The masculine energy of Vaughan Williams song of praise makes it particularly adaptable for men's choir. You will find it very effective as a concert opener or closer. 10094687 SATB with 4-Hands Piano . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.25 10805752 TTBB with 4-Hands Piano . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.25 10805752L TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.25 Let the Children Come (Waacheni Watoto Waje Kwangu) Mark Burrows. A bright, jubilant song of welcome! All God's children will be moving to the rhythm of this multicultural original, which incorporates Swahili text and percussion parts for shaker, djembe and congas. A cappella, vocally accessible and repetitive in all the right ways, this fun-to- sing statement of unity is perfect for both the concert stage or the worship service. 10810883 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.25 10810883L SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.25 Linden Lea Ralph Vaughan Williams/arr. Larry Shackley. This popular Vaughan Williams vocal solo has been transformed into a delightful concert or contest title for two-part men's groups. The original vocal line has been enhanced with delightful counterpoint and harmonic shadings carrying the descriptive lyrics through three verses. Destined to become a repertoire standard! 10810611 TB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1.95 10810611L TB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1.95 The Lonely Carnarvon arr. Charles McCartha. This tender setting of a tuneful Welsh folk song, a lament of love now lost, features comfortable ranges in all parts and an artful piano accompaniment with optional cello. "Soft winds of evening your sweet name are sighing, shyly the stars seek your sweet face in vain. No more we roam by the hillside together. Will we ever walk steep Carnarvon again?" Simply lovely! 10810612 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.10 10810612L SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.10 Lunar Lullaby Jacob Narverud. Beautiful, lush choral harmonies, soaring melodies, and a supportive piano accompaniment that offers constant motion and contrast to the choral parts set off an imaginative text that tells of the "celestial child" in the stars. This challenging yet accessible and beautifully crafted piece will be a superb addition to any choral library. Sure to become a classic! 10795103 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.15 10795103L SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.15 10535552 SA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.15 Magnisondele Nkosi Yam Michael Barrett. This piece is a traditional praise and worship song from the Zulu culture and is written in the isicathamiya style - a cappella singing with close harmonies - that originated among Zulu mine workers during the apartheid years. Two soloists open the piece with a call followed by response from the choir. Dramatic and powerful, the piece builds throughout with an exciting rhythmic section at its center. The title translates to "Be nearer my Lord." A translation and pronunciation guide are provided. 10761752 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.20 10761752L SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.20 hear & see the music at jwpepper.com/editorschoice Go to cart
