Ndangero
arr. Eslon Hindundu.
Eslon Hindundu of Namibia has beautifully arranged this song from his country
for choir and soloists. Sounding both otherworldly and peaceful, this interesting
work has great appeal for a wide variety of audiences. The repetitive nature of
both the music and the text will make this work easy and rewarding to learn.

No Color
Stacey V. Gibbs & Shawn Kirchner.
From two very important composers of our time, the lyrics in this monumental
work challenge ideas of racism and discrimination, while the music combines
jazz and traditional choral techniques. No Color offers choirs the chance to
declare that no color can come between us.

O Quam Gloriosum
Jacob Narverud.
Vibrant, bold, rhythmic, and harmonically rich, this accompanied sacred Latin
text setting for treble voices is powerful. Opening with an exuberant mixed-
meter section, the piece alternates the initial theme with contrasting lyrical
passages before returning to the original motif for an impressive conclusion.

O Wind
Michael John Trotta.
You can hear the gentle wind passing by in this charming setting of the
playful Robert Louis Stevenson poem, in which a child talks with the wind.
Independent melodic writing in both voice parts creates artistry and depth, and
the piano accompaniment adds a breezy texture. Some cued notes give an
option for three-parts in places, creating an expressive feature for treble choirs
of any age.

clapping or stomping for a great time!

Music in the Air
arr. Ryan Murphy.
"Over my head I hear music in the air, there must be a God somewhere."
The traditional spiritual is a mix of hopeful lyrics about the future, despite our
current afflictions. This setting brings an exciting new life to the traditional
melody with an active piano part that moves the piece from lyrical to a
syncopated gospel feel without breaking tempo or style. The choral parts
employ traditional harmonies and some divisi in the final section to create a
full-throated celebration of life.

Music Is
Andy Beck.
Celebrating the many ways that music touches our lives, the lyrics of this piece
were inspired by words from young singers. A spoken section in the middle
offers an opportunity for your students to add their own thoughts, or use the
provided script. A flowing piano accompaniment supports the voices through
the lovely melody and singable harmonies. A great choice for supporting music
and arts in your school!

Music Is Everywhere!
with Over My Head
Mary Donnelly & George L.O. Strid.
Contemporary in style, the traditional spiritual is paired with original music
using the text "We are the music makers, the dreamers of dreams" from Arthur
O'Shaughnessy's poem. Partnered together, they create a wonderful piece that
is not only fun to sing and easy to learn, but also supports music advocacy in
our schools and communities.
