Hold On
arr. Dan Davison.
In this spiritual arrangement, accented rhythms in the
vocal lines and the supportive piano part drive the
energetic vitality, while counterpoint and a pianissimo
staccato section provide vocal contrast. Ranges
are accessible for mixed choirs in the middle and
developing high school levels. Add the optional brake
drum for greater effect.

How Sweet the Sound
Kyle Pederson.
This work has the ethos of a spiritual, with the text
and a few riffs inspired by Amazing Grace. The choir,
considering the power of grace in song, affirms that no
trouble, no shame, no valley is too deep for the healing
gift and power of soul-freeing grace. The music has
a driving quality, with the choir occasionally backing
up the soloist with humming, quick commentary, or a
sustained neutral syllable.

another in a rhythmic, witty fashion that your students

The Hurricane
Paul David Thomas.
This setting of a text by William Cullen Bryant really
conveys the excitement of a hurricane! Knee slaps,
finger snaps, and blowing sounds effectively imitate
the rain and wind while the piano contributes just
the right percussive effects to complete the illusion
of the storm. "Lord of the winds! I feel thee nigh, I
know thy breath in the burning sky!" Now available in
three-part mixed.

I Carry Your Song
in My Heart
Evan Ramos.
A beautiful, emotionally evocative tribute to the power
of music and teaching, this piece for advanced
treble ensemble with cello obbligato features
lovely harmonic motion with a modern sensibility.
Unexpected shifts between major and minor,
unresolved cadences, and a section with layered,
overlapping voices lead to a simple unison ending.
Very moving!

I Gave My Love a Cherry
The Riddle Song
arr. Victor C. Johnson.
"A cherry when it's blooming, it has no stone.
A chicken when it's pipping, it has no bone.
The baby when it's sleeping has no cryin'. And
when I say I love you, it has no end." The simple
beauty of this Appalachian lullaby shines through
with plenty of teaching opportunities for nuanced
expression and thoughtful phrasing. It boasts lovely
choral and piano writing throughout and a brief
unaccompanied middle section.

eventually opens up to love and happiness.

supportive accompaniment carry the vital message to
young singers and audiences of any age. Inspiring!
