SACRED All Voicings medium
H Cantique de Jean Racine—Gabriel Faure/
ed. Zipper. Probably Faure's best known and
most often done work next to his "Requiem," the
lovely melodic lines are over triplet figures in the
accompaniment which can be done on piano or
harp or with a small orchestra.

H Cantique de Jean Racine—Gabriel Faure/arr.
Rutter. John Rutter has done an exceptional job of
editing this standard Gabriel Faure work. No library
is complete without this!

lt Clamaverunt Justi—Ivo Antognini. Engaging
melodic and harmonic ideas in a prayer-like setting
bring new life to this psalm text. Set for a cappella
voices, this largely homophonic setting uses
enough modern harmonies to keep it interesting
along with constant changes in meter to facilitate
the graceful setting of the text. Great teaching piece
for the alignment of meter with text.

Clap Your Hands Together—David Rasbach.
This spirited original, based on Psalm 98, is a
wonderful festival piece, a rousing invitation to
make a joyful noise unto the Lord. "Clap your
hands together, all you people; worship God with
one accord. Sing His praise together, all you people;
lift your voices to the Lord!" Highly recommended!

Consecrate the Place and Day—Lloyd Pfautsch.
"Consecrate the place and day to music and
Cecelia...Let no rough winds approach, nor dare
invade the hallowed bounds, nor rudely shake
the tuneful air..." This standard 1969 edition is on
several state lists, and is a frequent choice with
festival choirs.

Da Pacem Domine—Melchior Franck/arr. Goetze.
This canon for four-part treble voices is simple
melodic material, which when combined in two
and four voices achieves a stunning contrapuntal
effect. A first-rate selection which has, quite
understandably, become an increasingly popular
choice for state contest lists and regional festivals.

De Profundis—Russell Robinson. Premiered at
Lincoln Center, this exciting mixed-meter festival
piece features both Latin and English versions of
Psalm 130. Somewhat reminiscent of Carl Orff's
"Carmina Burana," it is truly a striking original work
in its own right. "Out of the depths I have cried to
thee, O Lord."

Dies Irae—Z. Randall Stroope. This exceptional
work has been appearing on many state and
regional festival lists since its publication in
2006, and deservedly so. This setting of Dies
Irae isolates a portion of the text and juxtaposes
driving, accentuated rhythms with towers of full
sonorities. The piano writing provides an agitating
undercurrent in the opening and closing sections.
An outstanding showcase by one of today's most
important choral composers.
10861897 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50
HL Dies Irae—W.A. Mozart/arr. Liebergen. This
edition of the well-known choral masterwork from
Mozart's "Requiem," now available for mixed,
TTBB, and SSAA voices, has become a standard for
today's choirs. Patrick Liebergen has re-scored the
keyboard accompaniment and transposed the work
down a major second to make it more accessible
for accompanists and singers. Generally considered
Mozart's last musical sketch, it was featured in the
closing scenes of the movie "Amadeus."

t Dirshu Adonai (Seek the Lord and His Strength)
—Kenneth and Kirsten Lampl. Set entirely in
Hebrew (IPA pronunciation guide available), Dirshu
Adonai is a sensitively composed meditation
with beautiful layered harmonies that build to
rich harmonic clusters. The echoing solo quartet
illustrates the fact that these words reach back
throughout time and space, reminding us to "Seek
the Lord and His Strength." Highly recommended!

Ht Esto Les Digo—Kinley Lange. This a cappella
setting of Matthew 18 in Spanish has attracted a

My name, there will I be also."

Lt Even When He Is Silent—Kim Andre Arnesen.
Commissioned by the St. Olaf Festival in
Trondheim, Norway, Even When He Is Silent
masterfully expresses the sentiment of the text -
hope in times of despair. Beautifully melodic, with
rich harmonic texture, this is a stunning work for
better a cappella choirs! "I believe in the sun even
when it is not shining..."

Exaudi Laudate—Beverly Patton. This high-
energy piece in a contemporary style is perfect as
an opener in a concert or festival setting. Featuring
a Latin text, the opening fanfare-like section leads
to a contrapuntal middle section before returning
to the opening ideas. The piano accompaniment is
both complimentary and challenging.

lL Four Sacred Choruses: 1. Ave Verum Corpus
—Henry Mollicone. Scored for soprano solo, SATB
chorus, and chamber orchestra or piano, this work
is the first movement of Mollicone's "Four Sacred
Choruses." This movement features mostly choral
homophonic singing on the sacred traditional Latin
text. Throughout one will find lovely vocal lines
in an adagio tempo in 3/4 time, with a harmonic
language that is modern and free, and with nice
tonal sections arriving at cadence points.

4L From Earth to Heaven—Craig Courtney. The
ethereal nature of the Samuel Francis Smith poem
is perfectly paired with masterful text painting until
the two become one in spirit and understanding.
The move from earth to heaven is flawless. The
music is deep; the text rich and profound. The
melody line moves to harmony and back again until
it finally finds a resting place. Scored for SATB choir
and piano with optional string quartet or orchestral
parts available. Glorious!

piece that is equally effective for school or mass-
choir settings.

Gloria—Craig Courtney. Craig Courtney's setting
of the traditional Latin text is reminiscent of Randall
Thompson: a brief choral work on the "Gloria" text,
a cappella, with an effervescent joy, occasional
meter shifts and the change in mood on "et in
terra pax." Small percussion instruments add just a
touch of sparkle and occasional divisi give richness
and color at just the appropriate times. Suitable
for Christmas concerts and church services,
festival appearances, as a concert opener or
service prelude, this promises to be one of Craig's
most enduring works and we offer it to singers
everywhere with our highest recommendation.

This beautiful setting begins with all voices in

text, written by Joseph Smith, Jr. is perfect for
