SECULAR CONCERT
Ad Astra—Jacob Narverud. Highly rhythmic
in both accompaniment and voices with
independent vocal lines, this work simply
radiates energy with a message of hope and
empowerment: "To the stars through difficulties,
look upward, move forward, leave all cares
behind." Impressive and accessible!
10990329 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.50
All My Heart Shall Sing with Joy!—Greg
Gilpin. An exciting original piece that portrays the
joy that we feel in our hearts when we experience
and share our gifts of music! Shifting rhythmic
patterns, joyous melodies and an energized
accompaniment create a festival-type setting of
this accessible piece. A lyrical, expressive middle
section sets up a beautiful contrast which resolves
once again into a dynamic closing section. A
wonderful way to both advocate for music and
present a festive concert work for young choirs!

te As You Sing—Sarah Quartel. In this fast and
energetic piece, Quartel sets her own text
celebrating the joy of singing. The melody weaves
in and out of the texture, supported by dynamic
vocal accompaniment and rhythmically driven by
the hand drum. This is a memorable and uplifting
song ideal for concert and festival performance.

Babylon—James DesJardins. Playful, jazzy, and
immensely fun to learn and sing, DesJardin's
Babylon is based on the English rhyme How Many
Miles to Babylon? The text is further accentuated
by the playful meter of five along with a clever
melody based on the Phrygian mode.
10990276 SA or Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . . M 2.25
The Brook (Chatter, Chatter)—Paul David
Thomas. Like an ever-moving brook, chattering
along, captured by the perpetual motion of the
piano part, the use of the asymmetrical meter
creates a constant sense of forward momentum
in this delightful piece for treble choirs.
Opportunities abound for literary connections,
diction, tone, and meter with this text from a
poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson.
10990279 SA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.25
Dt Changes—Audrey Snyder. Changing the world
e starts with just one person! Using a powerful
vocal call and response with body percussion,

awareness through the affirming lyrics and vocal
inflections. A refreshing change of pace for

De Chit-Chat Polka—Johann Strauss Jr./arr. Joy
Hirokawa. This delightful choral arrangement
of Johann Strauss' famous Tritsch-Tratsch-
Polka features a tongue-in-cheek text about
gossiping. Musically satisfying, the piece provides
opportunities to work on precise singing with wide
leaps, staccato singing, and chromatic passages.
10981009 Two-Part or SA. . . . . . . . . . . M 2.35
Come, Ye Sons of Art—Henry Purcell/arr.
Russell Robinson. From Purcell's "Birthday Ode
for Queen Mary," which also includes other well-
known odes, such as Sound the Trumpet and
Strike the Viol, this setting of Come, Ye Sons of
Art has been made accessible for young voices,
transposed from the original D major to A-flat
major. Your singers will have fun exploring and
learning how to sing in the rhythmic and exciting
style of the Baroque period.
10990225 SA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 1.95
De Come, Ye Sons of Art—Henry Purcell/arr. Greg

masterwork from Birthday Ode for Queen Mary is
adapted specifically for developing choirs. With
vocal ranges that work well for young singers, the

singing and precision. This joyful and spirited
arrangement is terrific as an opening number for
concert or contest.
10980370 Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.10
te Connected—Brian Tate. "I am you are me...."
This innovative original uses a clever text and
pop-style music to create an environment of
togetherness among members of the choir.
Community - that's what it's all about. Each vocal
part gets its own statement, and all are sequenced
together into a rollicking chorus, all a cappella, all
fun! Complete with finger snaps and handclaps,
this will be a hit with your singers!
10997680 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.25
Dance Your Dance—Jacob Narverud. Through
the text, the singers are encouraged to examine
the numerous aspects and challenges of their lives
with positivity, and to always "dance your dance."
Always moving forward, with the feel of one beat
per measure, the varied vocal combinations add a
dance-like quality and are supported throughout
by an undulating piano accompaniment which
sets the whimsical tone for this lovely piece.

Darkness Fell—Sherry Blevins. This piece
was written for a sixth grade treble honor
choir. With words and music by the composer
Sherry Blevins, the piece is scored for 2 part
treble chorus (optional 3rd part) with piano and
body percussion. The piece could easily be
programmed in a group related to time of day or
light and darkness.
10984374 Two-Part with opt. 3-Part . . M 2.45
Daybreak—James Bowyer. As with daybreak,
this piece innocently begins with one melody
in unison; then, as in a round, a second melody
appears, then a third, and finally blossoming into
four parts. A robust piano accompaniment helps
to establish the mood and artistry of this work
which is easily taught and which produces a
dramatic end result in performance.
11161040 SA or Four-Part Treble. . . . ME 2.05
e Give Me the River—Toby Young. This is a
thrilling piece setting a text by Jennifer Thorp.
The composer uses body percussion, repeating
themes, and strong rhythms to capture the
characteristics of a river, creating a fun and
dynamic performance piece. Interesting, unique,
and a winner for choir and audience alike.
11160109 SA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 3.25
I Am the Wind—Elaine Hagenberg. Poet Zoe
Atkins likens her uncertainty to the wavering
winds and shifting shadows and contrasts it with
the unchanging stars and secure land. This text
is mirrored musically with an opening section
of a cappella underscoring that blossoms into
a thick choral texture with voice leading in each
part that is skillfully interwoven to create lush
harmonies along with a wonderfully artistic piano
accompaniment.
11107830 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.50
De I Sound the Song of Spring—Mary Donnelly &
George L.O. Strid. Based on a poem by Robert
Louis Stevenson, this expressive work for young
treble choirs is suitable for concert and contest.
The music is gently cheerful and nicely sets the
text about the changing of the seasons. The
optional flute obbligato is included.
10981192 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.10
e I Will Sing You the Stars—Mark Burrows.

togetherness and support. A wonderful choice
for finals concerts, graduation, or moving up
ceremonies. The expressive vocal lines and warm
choral harmonies perfectly embody the sincerity
of the lyrics.

Light the Candles All Around the World—
Teresa Jennings. Perfect as a concert closer,
this song offers everything you would expect
from a universally themed seasonal piece. It can
be performed either in unison or with an optional
solo or second part. The song begins gently and
quietly but builds throughout to a marvelously
inspiring ending.
