This piece's poignant text of love and loss comes
from the poem Echo by Christina Rossetti. The
emotional poem is beautifully captured with long,
flowing phrases, mixed meter, lovely harmonies,
opportunities for rubato, and an expressive
piano accompaniment. A wonderful choice for a
contrasting, slow selection for contest or festival.

HL Come in from the Firefly Darkness—Amy
F. Bernon. This exquisite work has a haunting
yet whimsical quality as it tells its story from the
viewpoint of a wanderer who has returned home
to share life's experiences, only to leave again in

door, my friend, and let me come in from the
firefly darkness..." A beautifully poetic text, set
to shimmering music, this sings so naturally that
it will really let your voices soar! The P/A CD is
compatible with the SATB, three-part mixed,
unison/two-part and TBB editions; the SSA version
is in a different key.

The Dawn's Awake!—Laura Farnell. Just as The
Dawn's Awake!, a poem by early twentieth-century
poet Otto Bohanan, uses personification and vivid
imagery to describe the beauty of the sunrise, Laura
Farnell's music conveys the hope of looking forward
to a brighter future. Developing men's choirs will
realize their full potential when they sing this serious
work, which is a refreshing change of pace from
the abundance of lighter fare in the repertoire. "The
dawn of a thousand dreams and thrills, and music
sings and rings in the hills."

Double, Double Toil and Trouble—Leeann
Ashby Starkey. You can almost envision the three
witches dancing around their kettle adding the
ingredients for their potion in this choral adaptation
of the witches scene from Shakespeare's Macbeth.
Starting simply with one voice singing the main
theme, the piece builds continually toward a
climatic and frenzied ending. The accompaniment
is supportive but also supplies much of the frantic
and mysterious mood. Great text and a fun sing.
Available in SATB or SSA voicing.

of the world..." Use conga drums to enhance the
