Ht Lux Aurumque—Eric Whitacre. Upon
reading Edward Esch's poem Light and Gold,
composer Eric Whitacre was immediately
struck by its genuine, elegant simplicity. He
asked the celebrated American poet Charles
Anthony Silvestri to translate it into Latin for
this seminal work for mixed choir a cappella. A
simple approach was essential to the success
of the work, and Whitacre waited patiently
for the tight harmonies to shimmer and glow,
weaving a rich choral tapestry of light and the
soft singing of angels for the newborn child.
A Christmas text, but the effect is timeless.

t My Flight for Heaven—Blake R. Henson. This
exceptional work for accomplished a cappella choirs
takes Robert Herrick's text about seeking comfort in
the welcome embrace of death and shifts the point
of view to invoke music which strives toward a new
life without pain, suffering, war, or famine. A deeply
moving work which treats this profound text as a
metaphor for life. "Fall on me like a silent dew, or
like those maiden showers, which, by the peep of
day, do strew a baptism o'er the flowers..."
10053506 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.35

Heart can stand alone or be performed with

(including full score) balances with the choir,
making this a stunning and peaceful adaptation of
such a thoughtful text.

unique setting of Psalm 150 that utilizes Spanish text

this a cappella work for added fun!

Kiling-Kiling and Tultog and exciting choral parts.
A truly unique piece for treble choirs!

Ht Serenity (O Magnum Mysterium)—Ola Gjeilo.
For a cappella mixed voices with violin or cello (parts

to suspend the listener in space. A full six minutes in
duration, it is a stunningly beautiful contribution to the
repertoire for medium-advanced choirs!

as a spirited closing number.

concert work, even though the sacred text focuses on
the crucifixion. The ancient liturgy is presented with
beauty and emotion. Originally written for advanced
male choir now available in an SATB voicing.
10749300 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.15
t Totus Tuus—Michael John Trotta. The lush
extended harmonies proceed from a pedal point
and continue in straightforward rhythm, making the
piece at once accessible yet giving new life to the
ancient text by Louis de Montfort. The thoughtful
voice-leading enables this piece to be used in both
concert and liturgical settings. A superb balance of
color and emotion. Highly recommended!

will be a beautiful addition to any program!

Walker. The original tune and lyrics for this piece

effective and moving arrangement.

Words Like Freedom to create a wonderful
showcase for treble voices.

syncopated, spiritual-type piece for a cappella

All Aboard, Little Children!—Mary Donnelly
& George L.O. Strid. Get on board with this
lively partner song adaptation of the well-known
traditional spiritual! Featuring easy-to-sing
countermelodies for both the verse and chorus,
it's a snap to put together and an excellent first
experience with singing in parts. There's plenty of
melodic material for every voice part, and a small
ensemble descant in the final section adds a third
part for a full harmonic texture in this dynamic
concert work for young voices.

All My Trials—arr. Gwyneth Walker. A very
poignant song. Phrases such as "Hush little baby,
don't you cry, you know your mama was born to
die," or "Oh my brothers, I must leave you here
behind," view the approach of death in terms of
those left behind. The accompaniment of repeated
eighth-note chords is marked as if trembling or
sobbing. Although the harmonic language is tonal
and consonant almost entirely throughout the song,
a few dissonances appear near the end, reflecting
the pain of parting.

is a solid choice for concerts and festivals.
