lL Companioned—Daniel Brinsmead. The text
that explores the special relationship people have
with their memories is artfully realized in this
rhythmically and structurally interesting piece. A
lovely accompaniment sparkles and supports the
vocal lines throughout the journey. The changing
meters and keys enhance the journey for both the
singers and the audience.

state contest lists.

l
Die Junge Nonne (The Young Nun)—Franz
Schubert/arr. Brandon Williams. Schubert,
composer of over 600 lieder, elevated the art form
by creating settings that give equal consideration
to the melody, piano accompaniment and painting
of the text. This adaptation of a classic lied for
treble chorus is extremely authentic and presents
an opportunity for choruses to be introduced to
this art form. An excellent pronunciation guide and
translation are provided for the German text.
10842869 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.75
H Dirait-On—Morten Lauridsen. This exquisite work
is the fifth of a set of choral settings of poems
by Rainer Maria Rilke entitled Les Chansons des
Roses. With velvet choral lines and a pensive mood,
it is a deeply expressive musical statement for more
accomplished choirs.

Do Not Stand At My Grave—James Deignan. This
frequently set text attributed to Mary Elizabeth Frye is
full of hope and life. This setting features a soaring
optional violin part that suggests the spirit that has
left the grave, while an artistic piano accompaniment
surrounds the gorgeous melodic voice leading and
harmonic cluster cadences. Stunning!

Don't Be Seen—Stuart Chapman Hill. A cut
above the standard fare for three-part mixed
choirs, this is a work of substance for middle
school or high school choirs. With an independent
piano accompaniment, optional cello, a wonderful
boys' part, and a compelling text, it will display your
choir's musicianship in fine style. "Fading from the
light, enveloped in the night, dart between the stars,
don't be seen... Light of the moon, light of the stars,
lead me - give me the strength to be on my way..."

4L Dona Nobis Pacem—Daniel Elder. "Give us
t peace." These three words echo an ancient plea
that is equally relevant in our present turbulent
society that seeks respite from the barriers that
divide us. As such, the Latin word omnia (meaning
"all") has been added alongside the original text
to underline this idea of unity and equality. The
a cappella setting is harmonically modern and
unabashedly sentimental, giving a wonderful
musical juxtaposition with the ancient text that
allows the deep and healing message to be clearly
articulated. Stunning!

Ht Earth Song—Frank Ticheli. A cry for peace in a
world torn by war, this poignant a cappella setting
of an original text is filled with striking dynamic
contrasts. "Sing, Be, Live, See... This dark stormy
hour, the wind, it stirs. The scorched earth cries
out in vain... But music and singing have been my
refuge, and music and singing shall be my light..."

lL Echo—Connor Koppin. The Christina Rossetti
text which beautifully personifies the concept of
memory sometimes coming back to you in dreams
is paired with a lovely choral texture and a sensitive
piano accompaniment that will evoke an emotive
response from singers and audiences alike. This
is a piece that will be deeply appreciated by any
students of music, whether they be advanced high
school singers or a group of professionals.

lL Floating Moon on the Water—Wei-Pin Chen/arr.
Eric Liu. Blending western tonality with Taiwanese
elements, a poignant melody begins with a touch
a sadness but is followed by a flowing texture

Forever Music—Susan Boersma & Mark Hayes.
Commissioned for the Kansas All-State Honor
Choir, Forever Music speaks of music's power
to uplift and heal. Perfect for advocacy and for
Music in Our Schools Month, this emotionally
charged celebration is equally effective in
single- and massed-choir performances. "O sing
in language of the heart, sing more than just a
sound. Sing from the depths of hope and love
with words rich and profound, forever music."

melody line moves to harmony and back again until

lL Heart, We Will Forget Him (from "Three
Emily Dickinson Songs")—Michael Hennagin.
A single movement from the larger work for
mature treble choirs, the emotive choral writing
suits the introspective nature of Dickinson's
poetry. The thoughtfully constructed choral lines
leap and create harmonic passages of effectively
used dissonance that paint the text and establish
the mood. The piano truly acts as its own voice,
supporting and responding to the vocal writing.
