SECULAR CONCERT
te Music's Echo—Greg Gilpin. A text by Thomas
Moore provides the inspiration for this innovative
a cappella piece which uses percussion accom-
paniment to create a magical effect! It begins
with a simple melody, then each part joins with
its own melody as the polyphonic singing builds
in a glorious tribute to music. This may be used
as a processional, or it may be sung antiphonally
by two or more choirs. Parts for triangle or finger
cymbals, tambourine, mid/high drum and low
drum are included.

e Never One Thing—May Erlewine/arr. Corie
Brown. Treble choirs will appreciate this
empowering text that invites us all to begin the
process of reclaiming and healing those parts
of ourselves that are, at the same time, both
vulnerable and powerful. This music is modern
and raw with notated parts for body percussion
and cajon. An opening unison a cappella section
sets up the rhythmic feel of these in-your-face
lyrics and style, and the piano joins later to
provide extra support and texture for the stacked
harmonies. Powerful!

e The Night Will Never Stay—Judith Herrington.
"Though you bind it to the blowing wind and you

sorrow or a tune." The poetry of Eleanor Farjeon is
so evocative, and this setting is perfect for young
voices to sing. A great piece for teaching tone
and musical phrasing. This is a beautiful song for
concert or festival use.

e Over Hill Over Dale—Andrea Ramsey. Ramsey's
characterization of the fairy's monologue from
A Midsummer Night's Dream is both fun and
imaginative, with rhythmic fluidity, a driving
piano part, and clever accentuation perfectly
complementing Shakespeare's metre and rhyme
scheme. The piece was originally published in
the collection Hark, hark, the lark.

flowing river of emotion. A wonderful tool to teach
artistry and expression.

Peace (from I Will Sing to the Stars)—
Michael John Trotta. This SSAA setting of
a Sara Teasdale text is set completely for
unaccompanied voices. The text, "Peace flows
into me..." is introduced on a single note, gently
expanding to a fuller sonority. The next section
features a straightforward declamation of the
text, followed by a rhythmic ostinato that lays
a foundation for legato vocal lines in the upper
voices. The piece then concludes on the single
note from which it began.

mysterious poem is wrapped in a soundscape of

optional string quartet. Though this piece is

possesses a general text that is appropriate at

setting as they carry the beautiful melodic line
through much of the piece. Gorgeous!
