4 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 Lux Beatissima—Mark Burrows. Translated
as "O blessed light, fill the hearts of all people. In
work, rest; in stress, relief; in sorrow, comfort," this
Latin text is featured in a gorgeous choral setting.
Wonderful musical opportunities for teaching
breathing, phrase shaping, pure vowel sound,
and dynamic control abound in this elegantly
flowing setting. A pronunciation guide is included
to aid in the instruction of the Latin text. This highly
recommended piece will work equally well for
young treble voices or women's choirs.

accessible song.

l Oft, in the Stilly Night—Kevin T. Padworski.
This poignant text from Irish poet Thomas Moore
wrestles with nostalgic memories of the past and
contemplates the journey to the present with a
hopeful spirit. A folky violin/fiddle part sets the tone
for this lyrical folk-like original piece for tenor-bass
choirs that reminds us all that we are never alone
on our life's journey.

Oh Think of Me—Elaine Hagenberg. The simple
beauty of a sunrise, a summer breeze, or evening
stars can evoke memories of a loved one. Oh, Think
of Me was inspired by a poem by Frances Anne
Kemble to honor the life of a young man who died
too young. With a beautiful, emotive piano part,
soaring melodies and reflective moments, your
singers and audience will find heartache and then
resolution and peace in both the music and the text.
Absolutely breathtaking!

L The Old Mill—Kenneth Riggs. Rigg's intriguing
setting of this poignant, reflective poem by Thomas

wheel. The minor mode and 6/8 pulse effectively

togetherness throughout our many communities.

l
Phoenix Song—David Brunner. The tragedy at
The Pulse nightclub in 2016 changed Orlando, the
nation and the world overnight. A few months later,
this anthem was performed by the Orange County
All-County High School Chorus. It is not a song
of sadness, despair, or loneliness but of comfort,
hopefulness, and community. "Like the phoenix, we
will rise from ashes, linking breath to spirit - song
takes wing!"
10834151 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50
lL A Place Between Us Both—Michael John Trotta.
t
"A place where I am who I really want to be, and a
place where you are more than you'll ever know . . .
Will you meet me there?" Straightforward rhythms,
conservative ranges, and close harmonies make
this work a unique choice for concert or festival. An
optional soaring descant for a soprano section or
soloist is a highlight.

lL A Pleasant Life—Jay Althouse. Renaissance-era
poetry combines with a contemporary show-tune
feel in this anthem of contentment and a positive
outlook on life. A short contrasting section of lyrical
a cappella singing in the middle reminds us, "Seek
not fortune, crown or fame, treat all persons much
the same. Fill a life with art and song. Value beauty
all life long."

The Poet Sings—Z. Randall Stroope. "Stay the
course, light a star, change the world wherever you
are..." With a compelling text, based on a poem
by Richard LeGallienne, and magnificent original
music, this is truly inspiring! A brief narration sets
the mood, enhancing the impact of this profound
work: "...Send out the best messages, for they may
be shaping future generations." An excellent choice.

4L Psallite Hodie—David Waggoner. "Sing out a
jubilant, joyful new song!" Latin text is interspersed
with English text in this upbeat original that will make
a dynamic concert opener or festival selection for
developing choirs. A contrasting section offers a
gorgeous new motive with the opportunity for a solo,
followed by a rich choral harmonization. The return
to the original theme is heightened by a soaring
descant, which develops into an exciting finish.

Quiet Sea—Jill Friedersdorf & Melissa Keylock.
A song of hope and promise, the simple melodic
idea begins in an opening baritone solo before
being picked up by the sopranos and altos.
This melodic idea continues to be shared freely
throughout the piece. The piano accompaniment
adds support and forward motion as the choir asks
"Where is the quiet sea? Where is the sun so fair?
Lost in the storm, lost in the clouds... yet there."

4 The Railway Train—Ruth Morris Gray. This up-
tempo setting of Emily Dickinson's imaginative text
captures the spirit of a train while providing plenty
of teachable moments. The chanting of the train
clacking is great for teaching complex rhythms and
the train whistle is an opportunity to work on vocal
fall offs. Very creative!

l Rise Up, My Love—Bradley Ellingboe. Originally
conceived as a solo, this beautiful melody translates
into an elegantly simple choral based on the text
from Song of Solomon. Rising fourths that grow
and recede in the voice leading give the feeling of
ebb and flow and the constancy of love. A beautiful
concert selection!

message with great sincerity and eloquence.

Said the Rain—Amy F. Bernon. "Said the rain
to the child, "I will nourish you. I'll make you a
world that's all in bloom... and the sun will follow
soon." The rain sings gently in the narrative of this

to the rain for its abundant gifts. A gentle motif
is presented in the piano accompaniment and
