Wayfaring Stranger
Howard Helvey.
This artistic setting of an American folk hymn is deeply moving and will
leave the audience breathless. Opening with a baritone or alto solo,
the piece employs creative harmonizations of the traditional melody,
a beautiful call-and-response section, and a soprano descant over
unison choir to great effect. Stunning!

Weep You No More
Douglas E. Wagner.
This setting of the well-known Elizabethan poem utilizes contemporary
harmonies and a tightly knit choral fabric to exude the emotions of the
text. River-themed ostinati and cascading sixteenth notes in the piano
accompaniment aid in forward motion and enhance the textual imagery.
This gem is filled with abundant teaching opportunities for dynamic
expression and artistic phrasing.

Wherever Fortune Calls Me
Douglas E. Wagner.
"Yet one thing I can tell you, still one thing that I know: Wherever fortune
calls me, then that's where I must go!" A bold statement of the courage
to persevere and to follow one's heart against all odds is expertly set to
music based on an American folk tune. This rollicking selection is filled
with action-charged text and confident vocal lines that your developing
tenor-bass ensemble can really dig into.

Why Does the Willow Weep?
Ruth Elaine Schram.
"Why does the willow weep? What secrets does she keep? Is there a
broken heart beating beneath the bark, hidden in the dark?" Vividly
poetic, with sweeping melodic and harmonic textures, this is a truly
memorable concert work. An expressive, thoughtful tone poem for
treble or mixed choirs.

You Are Loving, You Are Loved
Mark Burrows.
We can all use a reminder to be kind and loving to others we meet.
This hopeful sentiment resounds with a soulful melody and supportive
accompaniment in a gospel shuffle style. Unison, or with optional two-part
harmony, the positive and uplifting text not only assures us we are loved -
it asks us to embrace our capacity to love others.

Sing Your Way Home
Joseph M. Martin.
Deeply expressive, an old poem is treated with rich harmonies to become
a moving closer for concerts or festivals. Written with an ear to the
a cappella glee club tradition, the incorporation of Dvorak's Going Home
connects to the heart of the audience and wraps them in the embrace of
the warm sounds of the text "Where'er you go, wherever you roam, it will
brighten your road; lighten your load, if you sing, sing your way home."

Sonnet: The Marriage of True Minds
Brian Tate.
William Shakespeare meets Brian Tate in a marriage of wonderful
poetry and stunning music. Changing time signatures give it a
meterless feel to fit the free-flowing text, while the a cappella
harmonies create interest and depth of expression. An absolutely
gorgeous piece for concert choirs!

Sunset (The River Sleeps Beneath the Sky)
Mary Donnelly & George L.O. Strid.
This beautiful and thoughtful setting of the Paul Laurence Dunbar poem
includes parts for Orff instruments (glockenspiel and bass metallophone)
and an optional flute obbligato that make this piece really special. Unison
voices anchor the song, followed by two-part writing that allows for vocal
independence. This is a wonderful teaching vehicle for your students to
discover dynamic contrasts, beautiful word painting, and a chance to learn
about one of America's earliest and most important African American
poets.

Tingalayo
arr. Mark Weston.
This traditional West Indies folk song about a little donkey begins with all
voices singing the refrain in unison; the simple harmony introduced later
moves mostly in step-wise fashion. A relaxed piano part and optional
shaker and claves create the perfect groove for a unique concert offering
for young treble choirs.

Ubi Caritas
Michael John Trotta.
The beloved Latin text is set in an elegantly simple four-part texture with
conservative ranges. Straightforward rhythms and moments of release
create a tapestry of sound that surrounds the solo chant line, which may
be sung by a soloist or performed by a C instrument. Beautiful modern
harmonies and cluster chords create an artistic setting that is equally
appropriate for service use or the concert stage. Lovely!

Voice on the Wind
Sarah Quartel.

a driving hand drum accompaniment, this piece has all the hallmarks of
Quartel's innovative style.
