4 All Night Today (All Nonsense)—
Christi Jones.
A paradox through and through, this
folksong-like original is intended to be seriously silly.
As such, tenor-bass choirs of all sizes and abilities
will enjoy learning and sharing this imaginative text.

Asleep in the Deep—Patti Drennan. Asleep in
the Deep refers to those who have drowned while at
sea. This adaptation of Arthur Lamb's text is a love
story about a sailor, his sweetheart, and the fate they
meet while in a tragic storm at sea. Rhythmic and
somewhat stormy throughout, this is an excellent
and appropriate selection for developing tenor-bass
choirs of all sizes.

Cantate Domino—Giuseppe Ottavio Pitoni/
arr. John Leavitt.
Arranged for tenor-bass
ensembles, this important selection from the
standard choral repertoire can be experienced and
enjoyed by a new audience. True to Pitoni's original,
Leavitt preserves the classic harmonic structure and
voice leading but pays careful attention to the ranges
and tessitura for developing voices. Wonderful!

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..."

Fare Ye Well—arr. Stacey V. Gibbs. A great
closer! This arrangement of the traditional spiritual
uses traditional harmonies but adds rhythms and a
barbershop feel to create a more modern vibe. With
a soloist, and at times a solo trio, divisi in all parts
will have up to seven parts vying for center stage at
times in this exciting and challenging men's piece.
Highly recommended!

Flight Song—Kim Andre Arnesen.

this stunningly beautiful poem by Euan Tait, set to
music by Norwegian composer Kim Andre Arnesen.

was written as the composer's gift to Dr. Anton

opportunity to share this meaningful song.

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!
