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!
