evocative, folk-like setting of Yeats' poem The Lake
Isle of Innisfree. The modal vocal writing is both
simple and sophisticated and always expressive of
the yearning in Yeats' words. May be accompanied
by hammered dulcimer which adds to the folk song
feel of the composition.

I Will Lift My Voice and Sing!—Victor C.
Johnson. Victor Johnson's celebratory original

I Will Sing—Andy Beck. "Oh, I will sing with the
rising sun, at the dawn of the morning, I will sing.
And I will sing when the day is done. When the stars
are shining, I will sing." A text inspired by nature
reveals beautiful music all around, at all times of
the day, in every season; even inside of yourself!
The craftsmanship and artistic fingerprint of Andy
Beck is evident throughout, from the sparkling
piano introduction and hushed opening phrase to
the memorable refrain, the ascending bridge, and
the most surprising finish. Not to be missed!

alluring and memorable melody is carried along by
a thoughtfully conceived piano part in this original

tune, the lyrical melody and simply stated text bring
the character to life. "I will sing until you hear, and
return to me again, to sing once more the song that
you did back then."

H If Music Be the Food of Love—David Dickau.
The romantic style of this setting is lush, expressive,
and perfectly fashioned for the text. "If music be
the food of love, sing on, sing on, sing on till I am
filled with joy..." The work is a superior choice as a
concert finale or any time a selection with a "music"
theme is appropriate.

4 In The Presence of the Past—Nick Page.
Examining a real event of 1851, the composer asks
us to look to the future where the past is always
present. Do we learn from our past or do we make
the same mistakes over and over? Amazing Grace
sung over the top of the original music suggests
that we sing of what can be and build on the works
of those who came before us. The resolution
blends Swing Low with Amazing Grace for a truly
spectacular and created ending.

Jabberwocky—David L. Brunner. Lewis Carroll's
playful language, vividly describing the Jabberwock,
is the inspiration for this clever, lighthearted setting.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that
bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird,
and shun the frumious Bandersnatch!" Whispered
parts and body movements add to the fun of this
creative concert novelty. Highly recommended!

Ht Johnny Said No!—Vijay Singh. This folk song-
style original tells the story of young Johnny, who
is quite popular in the eyes of the young women of

frustrations about Johnny, creating a humorous tale
told through gossip!

multicultural feel of this piece combines great vocal
lines and choral writing, modern driving rhythmic
ideas, and a great message about uniting together
on a collective "journey of hope." The excellent
choral writing makes this piece very accessible
for anyone, and the optional baritone line gives
flexibility in programming this to include male
voices. Djembe, shaker, and bass guitar parts are
all included with the score. Highly recommended!

l Jubilate Deo—Derrick Fox. This new and
rhythmic setting of the traditional Latin text is
perfect for teaching about minor keys as well as a

interplay and the larger sections where the choir
is moving together makes it very accessible for all
choirs.The eight word Latin text allows you to teach
unification of vowels and the pure vowel sound
required of Latin.
