touching each soul."

Be Still
Patrick Hawes.
A setting of the well-known phrase from Psalm 46,
"Be still, and know that I am God" for choir and piano.
The piano's repeated chordal patterns flow gently
throughout, and the long legato choral lines help the
listener drift into a world of peace and beauty. The
composer wrote this piece early one morning when all
was still and shrouded in a thin mist. Beautiful!

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!

Jazz-inspired harmonies infuse this anthem with rich,
subdued colors. Adam Tice's text about creation,
beauty, and renewal is brought to life by Anthony

joy of singing in close harmony. The optional oboe and
assembly adds flexibility to this composition.

How has God spoken to man? From the opening

clearly presents the means that God has used to
communicate - creation, scripture, and Christ.

writing is easily learned and well crafted.

I Dream a World
Connor J. Koppin.
With Langston Hughes' famous poetry at the forefront,
the composer has created a gorgeous and tender
work that truly brings light to a darkened world. The
piece was composed as a memorial to a family,
and the instrumentation and style were inspired by
their lives. The poem heralds equality, empathy and
kindness, and the emotive setting fits seamlessly
with that theme. The memorable melody and expertly
crafted piano accompaniment and instrumental lines
for viola and cello will stick with your singers, being a
lifelong lesson that will come back to them in difficult
times. Expressive and moving!
