The title of this Yiddish folk song informs us that a Balalaika will at least be inferred in the music. This wonderfully authentic arrangement does just that. It also includes a clarinet obligato (included in the back of the octavo) which is a tip of the hat to the Klezmer band. A Yiddish phonetic and English text are provided in the music allowing you to perform this work in any combination of Yiddish or English. 10843662 Three-Part Mixed . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10910244 Teaching P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26.99 4 Tumekuja Kuimba (We Have Come to Sing!)—Lynn Zettlemoyer.

Young people often know how to speak to the heart of matters more clearly than adults. Here, in the words of seventh graders, we hear that we all have voices singing to us, inspiring us and leading us to evolve. We learn that our own individual voices are important, make us creative, make us unique, and deserve to be celebrated. The music is vintage Papoulis in rhythmic elements and world style, and is accessible for younger voices. 10910969 SA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 4 Wake, Awake!—Lynn Zettlemoyer.

Rich with anticipation and mystery, and overflowing with rhythmic energy, this creative setting of the Robert Louis Stevenson text is an excellent choice for concert or festival. Interesting triplets and dotted rhythm passages repeat in the choral parts and the piano accompaniment as they represent the sound of horses' hooves as they "gallop about" through the windy night. Exciting! 10906224 SAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10906227 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27.95 4 Wishing Star—Beth Bolton/ arr. Laura Farnell. "Shining and shimmering up in the sky..." Wishing Star is a text reminiscent of the Star Light, Star Bright nursery rhyme. Beth Bolton and Laura Farnell's use of mixolydian mode and compound meter create a sense of longing with an endearing, whimsical quality. Treble choirs will appreciate the challenge of the compound meter and independence of line that creates the beautiful quality of this concert piece. 10846390 Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 Go to cart
