4L Windy Nights—Greg Gilpin. Rich with anticipation and
mystery, and overflowing with rhythmic energy, this
creative setting of the Robert Louis Stevenson text is an
excellent choice for concert or festival. Interesting triplets
and dotted rhythm passages repeat in the choral parts and
the piano accompaniment as they represent the sound of
horses' hooves as they "gallop about" through the windy
night. Exciting!

4L Nino Querido—arr. Mark Burrows. The gentle melody
of this Spanish lullaby and soothing text are first sung
in unison and then in canon. An original middle section
utilizes an English text and complementary melody before
the return to the original. Sing in Spanish, with a helpful
pronunciation guide and translation, or use the English text
option provided to create a tender and sweet feature for
your treble choir.

4 Sing a Solfege Song with Me—Catherine DeLanoy.
Fun with solfege for treble choirs! This original two-
part song teaches syllables and note names along with
scales, harmony and vocal glissandi. Add hand signals

educationally sound and fun to sing. Charming!

4 Wishing Star—Beth Bolton/arr. Laura Farnell. "Shining
and shimmering up in the sky..." Wishing Star is a text
reminiscent of the Star Light, Star Bright nursery rhyme.
Beth Bolton and Laura Farnell's use of mixolydian mode
and compound meter create a sense of longing with an
endearing, whimsical quality. Treble choirs will appreciate
the challenge of the compound meter and independence of
line that creates the beautiful quality of this concert piece.

4e Ay! Mi Palomita—Juan Tony Guzman. This traditional,
gentle lullaby from the Dominican Republic has been a
favorite of families for many years. In this arrangement,
the sweet gentle head nods required to finally lull this child
to sleep are captured in the stylish piano accompaniment.

4L I Sing—Cynthia Gray. James Weldon Johnson's text from
The Gift to Sing speaks to the heart of all who find comfort
and hope in song. The soaring melody is pentatonic, and
the open fourths in the piano accompaniment swell with
wave-like motion to create a distinct lyrical texture that is
inclusive and unique.

4L Can-Can (a la Solfege)—Jacques Offenbach/arr. Sally
K. Albrecht. The unforgettable melody from Offenbach's
operetta, "Orpheus in the Underworld," has been
inventively adapted into a lesson on solfege and the life
of the composer himself. This upbeat piece is perfect for
practicing fluency with major scale solfege syllables, vocal
agility, and crisp diction. Try performing this creative gem
with hand signs, or incorporate staging from the Movin'
DVD. Cute and fun!

song from Mexico incorporates a piano accompaniment

violins, trumpets, bass and guitars. Commissioned to
promote the singing of folk songs from around the world
by all ages and levels of singers, this versatile and fun
arrangement may be sung in unison or with three equal
voices. A exemplary world music selection!

an awe-inspiring view and ignites the imagination. An
engaging text is complemented with lyrical voice-leading
in a cheerful setting that offers the opportunity to develop
musical sensitivity in your young singers. Short solos (or

and simple harmonies that complete the whimsical feel.
Charming!

e The Seal Lullaby—Eric Whitacre. "Ah, weary wee
flipperling, curl at thy ease! The storm shall not wake thee,
nor shark overtake thee, asleep in the arms of the slow-
swinging seas..." This charming poem by Rudyard Kipling
is the inspiration for Eric Whitacre's magnificent choral
setting. A beautiful, accessible work for mixed, treble or
tenor-bass choirs! Newly available for SAB, SA and TB
choirs in adaptations by Emily Crocker.

excellent track to really make this a stand out piece. Fun!

4L Starlight—Mary Donnelly & George L.O. Strid. Tanabata
is a Japanese festival that celebrates a tragic love story
in the stars. Simple Japanese lyrics provide the refrain
and are later paired with an original melody for the
familiar Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star text. A delightful
accompaniment includes an optional recorder and Orff
percussion instruments, adding to a very appealing
multicultural presentation. A pronunciation guide and
translation for the Japanese are included, along with
interesting information about Tanabata. Charming!

the cheerful, fleeting image of one of nature's most
curious creatures with leaping, whimsical voice-leading
and a gentle texture. Echoing harmonies build into a

German folksong has received a fresh, new contemporary
treatment with an energized piano accompaniment.
Cleverly utilized vocal bell sounds are sprinkled throughout
to bridge the main melody and canon section. Shifting
rhythmic patterns give the feel of mixed meter, but the
easy round format and accessible ranges help ensure
success for young and developing choirs.

Jay Althouse. A soulful quote from "Swing Low, Sweet
Chariot" opens this gospel original before breaking into a
spirited celebration. The syncopated chorus will be fun to

really shine. In the 3-part mixed voicing, cued Baritone
notes offer even more flexibility for changing voices and
extended harmonies.
