Nightfall
Roger Emerson.
The text from Robert Fuller Murray takes center
stage in this beautiful new concert work for
developing choirs. Word painting, an independent
piano accompaniment, and the steady beat of the
"tick-tock" create a mood that suggests maturity and
finesse. A jazzy syncopated pattern forms the basis of
this creatively constructed song that your students will
love to sing.

Nighttime Sky
Amy F. Bernon.
The sky at night offers an awe-inspiring view
and ignites the imagination. An engaging text is
complemented with lyrical voice-leading in a cheerful
setting that offers the opportunity to develop musical
sensitivity in your young singers. Short solos (or
section solos) are surrounded with sections of unison
and simple harmonies that complete the whimsical
feel. Charming!

Nine Hundred Miles
arr. Greg Gilpin.
The crisp, rhythmic energy which mimics a train
underlies the dynamic modal groove in this American
folk song arrangement for mixed or tenor-bass
voices. The creative use of independent vocal ostinato
patterns in the lower parts gives significant vocal
interest for each part. Performance options are
included to employ a soloist at the beginning, and for
singers to clap a light eighth note pattern in certain
sections to mimic the click-clacking sound of the
train. Exciting!

Nine Hundred Miles
arr. Rollo Dilworth.
Work songs, railroad songs and songs of travel are
important components of the American folk song
tradition. This attention to historical style is on full
display in this carefully constructed treble concert work.
Labored sections of layered harmonies and "huh"
chants mimic the train starting to roll down the tracks,
while the familiar melody is stylistically preserved.

Nino Querido
arr. Mark Burrows.
The gentle melody of this Spanish lullaby and soothing
text are first sung in unison and then in canon. An
original middle section utilizes an English text and
complementary melody before the return to the
original. Sing in Spanish, with a helpful pronunciation
guide and translation, or use the English text option
provided to create a tender and sweet feature for your
treble choir.

Now is the Time
Jim Papoulis.
Written in a Foundation for Small Voices song-writing
workshop hosted by the Cincinnati Children's Choir,
the students' message is loud and clear: "Whatever
your journey, whatever your beliefs, whatever your
dreams or battle or triumph, the time is not tomorrow,
or sometime in the future...now is the time." The
lyrics fit perfectly with the themes of social justice or
hope. The text is set to a soft, gentle rock beat with
the final chorus performed a cappella.

Now Spring in All Her Glory
Emily Crocker.
The beauty and freshness of spring bursts into being
with this exuberant original for treble voices. A vibrant
theme lends itself to call and response, imitation
and variation over a buoyant piano accompaniment
contrasting with a more subdued middle section. An
ideal spring concert or festival selection for developing
treble choirs.

O Boundless
Boundless Evening
Rene Clausen.
While this text is most famous for being set by
Samuel Barber, this new setting offers a splendid
new choice. This arrangement for piano, cello
and women's choir is lush and distinct for its
contemporary harmonies and constant motion in the
accompaniment. Utilizing the full range of the female
voice and wide dynamics, this is perfect for a mature
treble voice choir.

Obwisana
arr. Victor C. Johnson.
This not-to-be-missed a cappella setting of a Ghanian
folksong sparkles with energy and excitement for treble
choirs. Strong vocal pairings, hand claps and active
percussion parts for shakers, djembe, and Bass drum
combine with the call and response texture creating a
full choral experience accessible for any choir.

Oh, Susanna!
Stephen C. Foster/arr. Glenda E. Franklin.
This tenor-bass arrangement of the Stephen Foster
classic opens with an optional a cappella section, then
kicks into rollicking fun, complete with plink-a plink-a
plinks to represent the banjo. Great choral writing will
keep your choir engaged and having fun!

Old Joe Clark
arr. Greg Gilpin.
This dynamic arrangement of the traditional American
folk song is a programming must. An urgent "round
and around" vocal motive serves as a rhythmic engine
throughout the entire piece as the modal melody is
playfully tossed from voice to voice with a driving
piano accompaniment. Rollicking and fun to sing!

The Old Mill
Kenneth Riggs.
Rigg's intriguing setting of this poignant, reflective
poem by Thomas Dunn English features an
accompaniment that emulates flowing water and the
turning of the mill wheel. The minor mode and 6/8
pulse effectively establish the mood for this haunting
piece which will provide a unique contrast for your
concert or festival programming needs. This is truly a
special piece of music you won't want to miss.

Omnia Vincit Amor
Michael John Trotta.
This energetic original work for tenor-bass choirs is
a testament that "Love conquers all, therefore let
us surrender to love!" In Latin, with pronunciation
guide and translation included, this festival work may

accompaniment, presenting flexibility and educational
opportunity for teaching blend and musicality.

Plaudite
Plaudite Omnis Terra
Victor C. Johnson.
Punctuated by handclaps and a rhythmic mixed meter
setting, this dynamic original would make a fantastic
opening number or festival selection. With a school-
friendly Latin text, and a contrasting lyrical section
in English, this piece presents multiple educational
opportunities while remaining a satisfying musical
experience for singers and audiences alike. Fantastic!

Plorate Filii Israel
Giacomo Carissimi/arr. Brandon Williams.
Here is the beautiful final movement from Giacomo
Carissimi's oratorio Jephte. Originally for SATB choir,
soloist, narrator and instruments, here is a new
arrangement for tenor/bass voices that allows them
to explore this important musical style. Along with the
Baroque style and the Latin text, this piece also lends
itself to teach legato line, imitation and the emotional
context of loss and lamentation.

Poor Wayfaring Stranger
arr. Christi Jones.
This artful arrangement of the traditional spiritual is
perfect for developing treble or tenor-bass choirs. The
tenor-bass voicing is designed to be used with piano
accompaniment, while the treble voicing offers the
option for a cappella singing or the use of the piano
accompaniment. This arrangement features elegant
voice leading and harmonic texture throughout.
Simply beautiful!
