t percussion parts, handclaps, and a straightforward

l Laudamus Te—Linda Tutas Haugen. A
lively, joyful and rousing piece with solo and
contrapuntal sections, Laudames Te has become
a favorite of many singers! This is a stand-alone
movement from Haugen's Gloria for chorus and
orchestra.

l Let Them Go—arr. Alec Schumacker. A new and
unique setting of the traditional spiritual that is
both exciting and energetic. The accompaniment
provides an interesting contrast to the choral parts
with a very different note grouping and accenting
pattern. Choral parts provide their own rhythmic
energy, and the divisi sections really help to open
up the harmonic language. A dynamic piece in all
aspects.

l Let Us All Sing—Keith Christopher. This festival
choral piece is pure energy! A driving, punctuated
piano part accompanies the solidly built choral
harmonies to create a dynamic concert opener for
mixed choirs. Also available for tenor-bass choirs
as Let All Men Sing.

lL Life Has Loveliness—Stephen Chatman. This
e musical setting reflects the poem's optimistic
spirit and the loveliness of life exemplified through
nature, music, children, love and peace. The poet's
famous words of advice, "Spend all you have
for loveliness, Buy it and never count the cost;"
inspire a hushed, dramatic statement. Alternating
homophonic and contrapuntal sections modulate
and evolve, rising to a climactic ending.

4 Lift Your Hearts!—J.S. Bach/arr. John Leavitt.
A wonderful introduction to Baroque style and
lyrical singing that can be performed in unison
throughout, or with any combination of two-part
voices. It is mostly in English, with just a few Latin
words, making it a simple way to introduce this
beautiful language to song. A wonderful selection
for its educational and historical value, and is
equally appropriate for concert stage or worship
service use.

4L Like a River in My Soul—arr. Tim Osiek. The
river flows steady and calm in this beautiful
arrangement of the traditional spiritual edited
by Dan Forrest. It is impossible to ignore the
underlying intensity which rises and falls as
peace, love and joy move from river to ocean to
fountain and back again. It is accompanied by
piano and is certain to become a favorite.

e melodic lines sing effortlessly above a river of
gentle sixteenth notes in the accompaniment of

for treble voices, your choir can express their
musicality with the phrasing and dynamics, and
the quality of their tone will shine through in
the lush harmonies and singable voice leading.

lL Love Will Find Out the Way—Charles McCar-
e tha. Written to build confidence in a developing
tenor-bass ensemble, the scoring is mostly
unison and two-part throughout, with occasional
episodes of three-part writing. The bold com-
pound-duple melody is singable and creates a
folky feeling to the seafaring text.

Lunar Lullaby—Jacob Narverud. Beautiful,
lush choral harmonies, soaring melodies, and
a supportive piano accompaniment that offers
constant motion and contrast to the choral
parts set off an imaginative text that tells of the
"celestial child" in the stars. This challenging yet
accessible and beautifully crafted piece will be
a superb addition to any choral library. Sure to
become a classic!

t Mangisondele Nkosi Yam—arr. Michael
Barrett. This piece is a traditional praise and
worship song from the Zulu culture and is written
in the isicathamiya style - a cappella singing with
close harmonies - that originated among Zulu
mine workers during the apartheid years. Two
soloists open the piece with a call followed by
response from the choir. Dramatic and powerful,
the piece builds throughout with an exciting
rhythmic section at its center. The title translates
to "Be nearer my Lord." A translation and
pronunciation guide are provided.

l Maya's Prayer for Peace—Tom Trenney. For
SATB and piano, this original setting of Maya
Angelou's poem, "Prayer" is in a soulful 6/8. (The
accompaniment occasionally quotes Lift Every
Voice and Sing, which gives you an idea of the
tempo and feeling.) Beginning with a series of
thanks, the piece has a slower middle section with
a series of petitions, beginning, "For those who
have no voice, we ask you to speak." Then the
music of the first section reappears and the piece
closes with a prayer for peace. This is an unusual
and powerful musical offering for any occasion
focusing on justice and social concerns.

l Misericordias Domini—Wolfgang Amadeus
Mozart/ed. Harold A. Decker. The spontaneity
and charm of Mozart are evident in this brief
choral work. While contrasting sections allow
considerable space for musical interpretations,
the entire work provides countless teaching
opportunities in the areas of technique, analysis,
and overall musicianship. Two violins and cello
or continuo help to create an authentic and
stylistic performance. This delightful work by the
19-year-old prodigy is a joy and a challenge for
any fine choir.

4e Music Changes the World—Jim Papoulis. The
Foundation for Small Voices advocates for school
music programs in many ways. Proceeds from
sheet music sales of this piece by co-founder
Jim Papoulis go directly to the Music Changes
the World project. This high-energy selection
with a positive message is full of world music
rhythms, allowing your choir to contribute their art
toward a great cause. A tremendous selection for
developing choirs. Highly recommended!
