l The Arrow and the Song—Thomas Juneau.
Longfellow's poem, The Arrow and the Song,
evokes contrasting images and two important
themes of trust and love. This piece mirrors these
contrasting themes through the imaginative setting
of the choral parts. Gorgeous melodic homophony
and gentle polyphony find their home in this very
lyrical and accessible setting.

How Can I Keep from Singing—
Sarah Quartel.
Available in editions for SSAA
and for SATBB a cappella voices, Sarah Quartel's
setting of How Can I Keep From Singing? is a lively
reimagining of the 19th-century hymn. Opening

soprano melody supported by the rhythmic vocal
accompaniment of the ATBB voices, with occasional
alternation between 4/4 and 7/8 meter. Together,
these elements capture both the gentle hope and
the profound joy of the text.

How Can I Keep from Singing? (A Gospel
Setting)—Greg Gilpin.

This one has it all - a wide-open solo for your best
gospel singer, an accompaniment that's fine as is,
or can be embellished at will by your pianist, and
hand claps from the very first measure that'll quickly
spread through your audience or congregation.
Highly recommended!
