Wishing Star—Beth Bolton/arr. Laura Farnell.
"Shining and shimmering up in the sky..."
Wishing Star is a text reminiscent of the Star
Light, Star Bright nursery rhyme. Beth Bolton
and Laura Farnell's use of mixolydian mode and
compound meter create a sense of longing with
an endearing, whimsical quality. Treble choirs will
appreciate the challenge of the compound meter
and independence of line that creates the beautiful
quality of this concert piece.

lL Within the Song—Patti Drennan. "My heart is
full, my mind is still...Within the music I belong,
and I am one within the song." Inspirational lyrics,
linear vocal parts, and a creative and musically
varied piano part displays the power of music in
our personal lives. Dynamic contrast, phrasing,
and general musical presentation provide good
educational value.

lL Words Apart—Alisa Bair. This penetrating piece
derives its title from wordplay on "worlds apart" and
underscores the theme that "we are all the same,
living words apart." It invites singers and audiences
alike to reflect on our personal responsibility to
use words to build bridges instead of tearing them
down. Pulsing rhythms, interplay between the
voices, and pointed melodies reiterate the theme
and create a compelling concert piece that will be
memorable and significant.

to others we meet. This hopeful sentiment

uplifting text not only assures us we are loved - it
asks us to embrace our capacity to love others.

19 outbreak. Inspiring and reflective, the rich
harmonies capture both a sense of poignancy and
hope. An optional descant soars above the choir,
adding a sense of expansiveness: "Your voice
brings hope!" Over 200 singers from five high
schools coast to coast learned the piece separately
using part-dominant tracks, and recorded their
performances for the virtual choir premiere .
