SACRED All Voicings medium-easy / medium
lt Soar Away—A.M. Cagle/arr. Jacob Narverud.
A traditional Sacred Harp melody set with text from
the American Collection of Hymns and Spiritual
Songs, this arrangement is part sacred and part folk
which creates an interesting dynamic and marvelous
teaching opportunities including some advanced
vocal techniques. The verses are largely homophonic
with the refrain allowing voices to have some
wonderful interplay with each other while adding
some body percussion in the way of stomps. Exciting!

A Song of Blessing—Jude B. Roldan. This
beautiful and prayerful original song is perfect
for graduations, memorials, or simply to close
your choral concert. Emotive writing and chord
clusters formed from the lush choral harmonies
that move close to each other combine to create
an elegant treble piece. An optional soprano solo
and supportive piano accompaniment complete the
presentation of this lovely piece.

lL Standin' in the Need of Prayer (from Three
Folk Hymns)—Gwyneth Walker. Scored for SATB
choir, children's choir and piano, this lively tune is
set in a swing rhythm. New text is added and it
becomes evident during the singing that the choir
feels that they are in the greatest need of prayer as
they sing "Not you!" (pointing at the congregation)
and exclaiming "It's me!" Children's voices are
added throughout and take on the descant at the
end. A fun and rousing setting!

The Gift of Each Day—John Rutter. John
Rutter sets an original text to sublime music that
harkens back to his Lord, Make Me An Instrument.
With a focus on light, thanks and creation Rutter
intersperses phrases of Latin text and followed
immediately by their English translation. The vocal
lines are often in unison with minimal SATB writing
and the ranges are very reasonable. A song of
thanksgiving that will be a joy to sing and hear.

Three Contemporary Latin Settings—Jerry
Estes. This special set of three short pieces is great
for captivating and motivating developing choirs; it
is now available for SATB choirs as well. The easy,
repeated Latin phrases come to life with fresh
musical ideas. The Kyrie, with its staccato versus
legato singing, contrasts with the simple, melodic
ballad feel of the Adoramus Te, which in turn is
contrasted with the celebratory style and energy of
the Gloria in Excelsis Deo. For school or church,
sung independently or as a set, for holiday use or at
any time of year, this is a powerhouse for teaching
and performing! Highly recommended!

Two Latin Settings (I. Jubilate Deo II. Ubi
Caritas)—Mark Patterson. Here are two contrasting
festival pieces that work equally well individually or
as a set. Jubilate Deo features vocal pyramids in
a strong, fanfare opening, followed by a lighter,
syncopated section before returning to the opening
idea. Ubi Caritas has a calm, almost mesmerizing
texture. Perform these pieces a cappella, or with the
optional festival-style piano accompaniment.

Agnus Dei (Requiem)—Jay Althouse. This
setting of the traditional Agnus Dei Latin text
from the Requiem Mass was specifically written
to honor the memory of the numerous victims
of the senseless mass shooting tragedies of the
summer of 2016. With a very open harmonic
texture, almost a cappella with its minimalist piano
accompaniment, this setting weaves between
consonance and dissonance with simple contrary
vocal lines over an insistent single note that tolls
in the piano until all voices combine in meditative,
somber harmony. This piece will evoke a reflective
moment in your concert or worship setting. A
pronunciation guide and translation are given for
the Latin text.

contest-oriented use and church services!

piece by Paul Basler truly runs the gamut of
dynamics, vocal timbres, styles and covers a
multitude of ways of praising God! The piano and
horn are equal counterparts to the choral ensemble
making this piece a true work of art.

moving moments holds true to the composer's style,
