AMERICANA MUSIC
Patriotic numbers, spirituals, jazz,
and folk songs all make up a very
unique type of music that is typically
and uniquely American.
t Bright Morning Stars—arr. Alice Parker. Alice
Parker has created a setting of this beautiful
American song that is simple, authentic, and
warm. A good chance to feature a soloist, with
accompanimental choral parts beneath.

De City Called Heaven—arr. Rollo Dilworth. This
setting of an African American spiritual makes the
most of its rich choral textures to set the emotional
impact of the lyrics. The piano accompaniment
adds just enough to support the voices while
letting them remain the full focus of the piece.

Deep River—arr. Victor C. Johnson. Johnson's
artistically crafted piano accompaniment creates
a gentle, wave-like motion to support the warm,
lush choral textures and harmonies in this superb
arrangement of the beloved spiritual. This elegant
yet accessible setting is a perfect opportunity
to expand your choir's harmonic language and
cultural understanding with a tender melody that
they'll know and love.
10996345 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.35
De Falling in Love with Love (with This Can't
Be Love)—Richard Rodgers/arr. Kirby Shaw. In
an easy swing style, this arrangement combines
Falling in Love with Love and This Can't Be Love,
both from the Rodgers and Hart musical "The Boys
from Syracuse." Solid voice leading, jazz-tinged
harmonies, and nifty vocal stylings are enhanced
by a swingin' instrumental accompaniment.

Le I Got Gershwin!—George Gershwin & Ira
Gershwin/arr. Adam Podd & Matt Podd. This
seamless four minute tour pays tribute to the
American songwriting team of George and
Ira Gershwin. Smart voice leading and classic
choral arranging techniques remain faithful to
the cherished melodies and jazz-influenced
harmonies. Listen closely for additional Gershwin
themes tucked into brief interludes between
the enchanting songs. Includes: I Got Rhythm;
S'Wonderful; They Can't Take That Away From
Me; I'll Build a Stairway to Paradise; Love Is Here to
Stay; Embraceable You and Fascinating Rhythm.
10993664 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.50
I'm On My Way—Anthony Trecek-King.
Rhythmic, driving, and intense, this is a rich
selection for three-part treble choruses. A lesser-
known spiritual speaking to themes of home,
journey, and trial, this is an accessible and
dynamic arrangement.
11170295 SA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.75
Indivisible—Rose Aspinall, Randy Vader & Jay
Rouse. A relevant message, this stirring ballad
is a challenge to remain united under God. An
encouragement to devote ourselves to unity
while at the same time celebrating our diversity.
Musically solid and easy to learn.
10991411 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 1.89
De Jump 'n' Boogie (Medley)—arr. Kirby Shaw.
Raise the roof with this terrific medley of classic
big-band swing tunes. This arrangement includes
The Joint Is Jumpin'; Bandstand Boogie and
Jump, Jive an' Wail. Well-written voice leading,
effective use of unison, and even some finger
snaps make this lots of fun to sing. Take your
performance over the top with the fantastic jazz
band instrumental parts. This one really cooks!
11001646 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.50
e Maid of Constant Sorrow (from The Morning
Train)—arr. Gwyneth Walker. Adapted from the
idea of the American folk song A Man of Constant
Sorrow, Walker's Maid of Constant Sorrow has
a very simple melody with a mournful message.
That the soul is troubled and not at rest is brought
forward in the lyrics "All through this world, I'm
bound to ramble... perhaps I'll take the very next
train" and "Perhaps I'll die upon this train." Part of
The Morning Train collection.
10999766 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.60
e Mama Don't 'Low—arr. John Maclane
Schirard. This American folk song is a perfect
change-of-pace selection for your tenor-bass
choir. Hilarious lyrics list all the things that Mama
doesn't allow - but that they love to do while
Mama isn't around! Rollicking rhythms, stacking
harmonies, handclaps and a down-home feel
make this a novelty selection that your choir will
love to perform!
11001275 TTB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.25
De My Funny Valentine (from "Babes in
Arms")—Richard Rodgers/arr. Mac Huff. This
classic tune from Rodgers and Hart's "Babes
in Arms" has become a standard in the Great
American Songbook. Covered by numerous
jazz, pop, traditional, and Broadway singers,
this love song with the smooth jazzy feel is
appropriate at any time of year. This accessible
arrangement is a great choice for mixed choir
exploring this style.
11001847 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.15
Le O Say, Can You See—Ruth Morris Gray.
An all-new original melody and a shimmering
accompaniment beautifully highlight Francis
Scott Key's words from The Star-Spangled
Banner. Unexpected melodies and harmonies
bring attention to the text before resolving into the
known strains of the the traditional setting of the
national anthem. Program this moving patriotic
piece to celebrate our country any time of year.

e O! What a Beautiful City—Shawn Kirchner.
Inspired by the Joseph Jennings arrangement of
this same tune for Chanticleer, this arrangement
combines the five-syllable "halleluia" with the
timeless melody of the old spiritual. A true gospel
piano part provides support and drive, and it has
an an optional coda for that choir blessed with a
great gospel soloist. This is a concert closer of the
highest order.
