and mystery, and overflowing with rhythmic
energy, this creative setting of the Robert Louis
Stevenson text is an excellent choice for concert
or festival. Interesting triplets and dotted rhythm
passages repeat in the choral parts and the piano
accompaniment as they represent the sound of
horses' hooves as they "gallop about" through the
windy night. Exciting!

soundscape on a poem by Edna St. Vincent Millay,
this picturesque setting includes wind-blowing
sounds for the sopranos and tenors while the rest

Soul)—Z. Randall Stroope. This profound work
is set to a stunning 16th century love poem,
which translates "You are the Love of my Soul."
A deeply emotive composition, the work contains
a rich harmonic language and lucid vocal passages

Perform this in Spanish as a splendid a cappella
choral rendering, or use the tasteful piano
accompaniment for a concert feature of rare and
distinct beauty.

Williametta Spencer. This contemporary, a cappella
setting by Williametta Spencer of the sonnet by
John Donne is a strong contest/festival selection
for mature mixed choruses.

H Cloudburst—Eric Whitacre. The powerful fusion
of Octavio Paz's words and Eric Whitacre's musical
imagery has made this work a favorite with more
accomplished high school and college choirs. It
continues to be a conductors' choice for All-state
and regional festivals as well.

t Day of Fire and Sun—Dominick DiOrio. A
gorgeous and ethereal poem by Sara Teasdale has
been set with rhythmic passages of joyful abandon
and vocal fervor that alternate with contrasting
sustained sections. A dynamic and challenging work,
this will be an incredible addition to your program.

t Fly to Paradise—Eric Whitacre. Featured in Eric
Whitacre's Virtual Choir 4, bringing over 8000
submissions from 101 countries from around the
world, Fly to Paradise is taken from the award-
winning musical "Paradise Lost" by Eric Whitacre,
which boasts ten LA Stage Alliance Ovation Awards
nominations, the 2008 Los Angeles Garland Award,
and the LA Weekly Award. The work requires an
electronica track for performance. Access to that
online audio, from the composer's website, is
included in the purchase price.

lL Fruhlingsjubel—Joachim Raff/arr. Jeremy
Wiggins. The name Joachim Raff is known
to many of us as the composer of works for
piano. The research of editor Jeremy Wiggins
tells us that there are hundreds of other works
including many for choirs. Fruhlingsjubel, taken
from his Op. 198, is a characteristic of Raff's
energetic secular compositional style. A great
representation of choral writing from the period
by a lesser known composer.
11165644 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.75
t I Am Not Yours—Z. Randall Stroope. Sara
Teasdale's immortal poem is treated lovingly in
this gorgeous choral setting. Stroope has a rare
sensitivity to poetic texts and an equally rare gift
for bringing the words to life in his music. This is a
marvelous work which will be in great demand by
mixed choirs everywhere!

HL I Carry Your Heart with Me—David C. Dickau.
Wonderfully expressive and deeply moving, this
musical setting really does justice to the sensitivity
and intimate mood of e.e. cummings' poem. David
Dickau is at his compositional best in this exquisite
love song for choir. Highly recommended!

H The Lake Isle—Ola Gjeilo. This refreshing work
employs a folk-like sound to capture W.B. Yeats'
wonderfully descriptive words from The Lake
Isle of Innisfree. The movement in the piano, the
strumming of the guitar, and the richness of the
strings work together with the voices to create the
imagery of a long and pleasant journey.

Clausen. Rich harmonic textures, sweeping piano
lines, and 19th century Romantic nuances bring
this Robert Burns poem to life in Rene Clausen's

forces, piano, violin and cello, it is a breathtaking
treatment of a well-known poem that has become
a distinguished addition to the choral repertoire for

H The Pasture—Z. Randall Stroope. Robert
Frost's elegant poetry harkens to a simpler time
and Randall Stroope's choral setting is both
lush and expressive. Clear vocal lines and rich
harmonies sing beautifully over a supportive
accompaniment, while the meter changes at the
slower tempo give the work a freedom in line and
motion. Masterfully done.

Ht Sleep—Eric Whitacre. This expressive, lush choral
work by Eric Whitacre combines an enigmatic
text and expansive chordal harmonies into a
sublime musical statement of release and quiet
resolve. With a text by celebrated American poet
Charles Anthony Silvestri, it is a particularly moving
perspective on the journey into sleep and, finally, to
dream. Stunning!

4t Spes (Hope)—Mia Makaroff. This joyous
unaccompanied work for more advanced treble
choirs combines two texts about hope - one in Sami
and the other in Latin - to create a work that uplifts
both the singer and the audience. Challenging but
incredibly fun, this will make a great concert opener
or a work to center a program around.

H Sure on This Shining Night—Morten Lauridsen.
"Sure on this shining night of starmade shadows
round, kindness must watch for me this side the
ground..." In this third movement of his song cycle
Nocturnes, Morten Lauridsen's flowing music
captures all of the beauty and wonder of James
Agee's poem. Set for accompanied SATB voices
(with some divisi), and now for TTBB, this is a
superb composition for better choirs!

Ht Water Night—Eric Whitacre. This emotive work
for divisi choir, based on a translation of a poem by
Octavio Paz, uses an advanced palette of harmonic
colors for a shimmering and mysterious effect. It
provides a stellar moment in your concert hall with
your more accomplished choir.
3023041 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .2.75
Ht William Tell Overture—Gioacchino Rossini/arr.
Julie Eschliman. Rossini would be amazed by what
Julie Eschliman has done with his famous piece!
It's hard to keep a straight face while singing this
hilarious novelty arrangement for better choirs.
Sung entirely on syllables which imitate the sounds
of the original orchestral score, this is tongue-in-
cheek humor at its best! Awesome when performed
a cappella, but equally impressive with the optional
piano accompaniment, this will earn a standing
ovation! Very highly recommended!

Lt With a Lily in Your Hand (from "Three Flower
Songs")—Eric Whitacre. "Little widow of my
single star, I find you... after a thousand years are
gone, you'll see me, o my night love!" Frederico
Lorca's poignant text receives a dramatic a cappella
treatment from Eric Whitacre. This is the 2002
revision, which remains a favorite of festival and
all-state choirs. Beautiful!

lt You Rise, I Fall (from "The Sacred Veil")—Eric
Whitacre. This is the eleventh movement of "The
Sacred Veil", a twelve-movement work written with
poet Charles Anthony Silvestri that chronicles the
rich life of Tony and his late wife Julie and their
journey through cancer, and ultimately, her death.
The moans and sadness are set with sliding
portamentos throughout, while the text cries "...
your struggle ends as mine begins. You rise, I fall."
