AMERICANA MUSIC
Patriotic numbers, spirituals, and
folksongs all make up a very
particular type of music that is
typically and uniquely American.
4 America, The Dream—Rollo Dilworth. Written
as a celebration of singing for racial and social
justice, this up-tempo setting is a terrific way
for your choir to experience a gospel feel. This
powerful work draws its text from the Langston
Hughes poem Freedom's Plow, and was written
as a prequel to Rollo's piece of the same name.
The two pieces can be performed separately or as
a set. Really nice!

n The Ash Grove—arr. Mark Patterson. This gentle
setting of the beloved Welsh folk tune features
a lilting piano accompaniment and a lovely
obbligato part for oboe or clarinet (both parts
are included). With some rhythmic variation and
extended cadences from the original folk song,
this lyrical setting presents all the beauty that
the text so aptly describes. With the opportunity
to feature a soloist in the opening section, the
texture expands from unison and two-part
to a rich choral texture with warm, pleasant
harmonies. This lovely concert selection presents
a wonderful opportunity to teach phrasing and
musical expression to developing choirs.

n Down to the River to Pray (with Bring Me
Little Water, Sylvie)—arr. Jennaya Robison.
Pavane Publishing is pleased to launch a new
choral series under the care of Jennaya Robison.
Dr. Robison of Luther College fame is a rising star
as a clinician and now an arranger. Her setting
of Down to the River unites another American
classic of the same genre, Bring Me Little Water,
Sylvie. A simple hand drum and hand-clapping
provide the percussion. Strong a cappella
writing completes this fine arrangement. Easy to
medium in difficulty.
10873397 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.45
n A Festive Call to Freedom—Joseph Martin.
A vigorous Shaker tune takes on fresh purpose
when joined with this original patriotic text. A
powerful choral that celebrates the gift of freedom
and good citizenship!
10343847 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50
n Harriet Tubman—Rollo Dilworth. Capturing
the importance of the Greenfield poem and the
dramatic story of Harriet Tubman's life, Rollo
Dilworth has crafted this powerful spiritual setting.
Tubman was a conductor of the Underground
Railroad and often referred to as the "Moses" of
her people. In recognition of these titles, the work
incorporates musical themes from the spirituals If
I Got My Ticket and Go Down, Moses.
10558318 TTBB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50
t Homeward Bound—arr. McKay Crockett. After
racking up over a million views on YouTube, this
unique a cappella stunner by Brigham Young
University's Vocal Point and the All-American
Boys Chorus is now available for SATB divisi
choirs. Contemporary a cappella harmonies and
layered choral textures support the soloists during
the folk-like verses and full choral refrains. The
familiar Holst melody makes a few appearances,
and a three-part treble chorus (or descant group)
is an ethereal addition at the end. "Bind me not to
the pasture; chain me not to the plow. Set me free
to find my calling and I'll return to you somehow."
Inspirational!

n Hymn to Freedom—Oscar Peterson/arr. Paul
Read & Seppo Hovi. One of Oscar Peterson's most
recognizable and heartfelt compositions is once
again available in these classic arrangements for
SATB by Paul Read and for SSA by Seppo Hovi.
This song has been embraced by choirs around
the world for its life-affirming lyric and message
of world peace in this beautiful setting. Now
available with concert band and string orchestra
accompaniment. "When ev'ry heart joins ev'ry
heart and together yearns for liberty, that's when
we'll be free!"

L I Hear America Singing—Andre Thomas. This
dynamite selection quotes the spiritual Walk
Together, Children and offers driving rhythmic
excitement straight through to its exuberant
conclusion! A superb choice for concert, festival,
or patriotic programs for singers of all ages.
Impressive, especially with the optional parts for
wind ensemble or orchestra!
10513109 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.20
H I Sing Because I'm Happy—arr. Kenneth
Padden/adapt. Rollo Dilworth. Now available
for treble voices! Adapted from the gospel-style
interpretation of the hymn, "His Eye Is on the
Sparrow," originally performed and recorded
by the Georgia Mass Choir, this setting is an
inspirational choice for gospel, church and
concert choirs.
10451977 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.25
n Let Freedom Ring! (with America, the
Beautiful)—Ruth Morris Gray. "My country, 'tis
of thee, sweet land of liberty..." The familiar words
of America are set to a sweeping new melody,
which leads to a stirring original chorus. Then, a
fully harmonized refrain of America the Beautiful
enters as the work nears its grand finish. Especially
effective as a concert closer, this accessible piece
is a strong choice for any patriotic occasion! "Let
freedom ring in our hearts, let love abide. Of thee
I sing, let freedom ring."

n The Nightingale—arr. Dan Forrest. This early
colonial folk song is a variant of the English folk
song The Bold Grenadier. The haunting tune
and the roots of the text can be traced back to
17th-century England. Dan Forrest's beautiful
arrangement features piano four-hands and
optional violin.
10304257 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.65
n Old Joe Clark—arr. Dan Davison. Rhythmic
excitement abounds in this exciting arrangement
of the traditional folk song for mixed voices. A
superb choice for concert or festival as well as
an excellent selection for choirs seeking to move
from a three-part texture to four parts with the
optional tenor line. Lots of fun!
10735270 SATB SA(T)B . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.50
n Selma 1965: Let My People Go—arr. Rollo
A. Dilworth. Steadfast and strong, this contempo-
rary setting of the traditional spiritual connects
with history in a powerful way. Ideal for festival
choruses and combined choirs, this is an
inspirational selection that, just like in 1965, will
help encourage justice and equality.
