l Child of Wonder (from "The Sacred Veil")—
Eric Whitacre. The final 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, this plaintive piece
serves as a benediction and farewell. Opening in
divisi a cappella harmonies, the piano enters with
a flowing motive to underscore the text "Turn your
silvered sail toward the light ... stretched on ocean
waves of endless foam, welcome home, my child,
welcome home."

Count the Stars—Andy Beck.
A poignant original English text combined with
Latin phrases from the Requiem Mass lays the
foundation for this tender song of remembrance.
Deeply emotive musically, with exquisite lyricism,
this piece was commissioned by the classmates of a
high school student who passed away to honor his
memory. Contemporary cluster chords, beautifully
sculpted phrases, and expressive dynamics leave
the listener with a sense of awe and wonder.

sweeping melodic lines and rich harmonies lead to an
ending of quiet splendor. Mary Lynn composes some

Fly Away Home—Pinkzebra.
This beautiful song offers lyrics about exploring the
world and life experiences, while staying connected
with where you came from and knowing you can
always return home. It provides a fresh angle for
a graduation song and also works beautifully as
a poignant memorial song where fly away home
has a different spiritual meaning. Perform with the
accompaniment MP3 or add the optional string parts
for a live orchestra. Help your students rehearse with
the part-dominant MP3 practice tracks, available for

yet powerful. A cappella with optional piano

Highly recommended!

4 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 Hear Love—Connor Warren Smith.
The nature of love is timeless, even when a loved
one is gone. This important message is carried on
with a tender melody and warm harmonies that
create an emotional tribute that is both beautiful and
memorable. "The truth of your love is with me every
day. It goes on... it grows!"

If We Stand as One—Jim Papoulis.
Tyler Clementi put a face on the consequences of
cruelty. Through the Tyler Clementi Foundation,
tens of thousands of youth and adults have been
inspired to speak out and stand up in the face of
bullying, harassment and humiliation across the
globe. This novel work, with its syncopated rhythms,
pop harmonies, and positive text with a message of
empowerment, is a powerful way for singers to take
a stand against cruelty and bullying.

Inscription of Hope—Z. Randall Stroope.
A profoundly moving text, written on a cellar wall
during the rise of Nazi Germany, joins with original
music to create a deeply emotional expression of
hope for all mankind. With brief narration and the
echo of a Russian folk melody, this is an important
contribution to the concert repertoire for more
discerning choirs!

Lt Jenny—Ryan Kerr & Nick Myers. Fluid vocal
lines and a sensitive text shine in this powerful,
heartfelt recollection of a lost loved one. Perfectly
capturing the essence of love that lives forever, it
is at the same time both touching and haunting.
For a cappella choirs, this will be warmly received
in concert or memorial performances. "Quietly the
strain falls out of tune. Shadows steal across a
lonely moon. I miss you so..."

l Lie Light, Dear Heart—Kenneth Lampl &
Kirsten Lampl. "Warm summer sun, shine kindly
here..." These stunning words by Mark Twain have
been set here in a highly melodic and memorable
work. This setting offers both homophonic choral
writing and counterpoint, providing many excellent
teaching opportunities. This will be a lovely work
for any program, but will be particularly good for
memorials and remembrances.

supportive and flowing piano accompaniment.

H Lullaby—Daniel Elder.
This contemporary concert/festival piece is truly
inspired, in music and text. "Away, where the
sunlight is beaming through a deep, cloudless blue,
and the treetops are gleaming with a fresh morning
dew..." Appropriate for any occasion, including
memorials, it is a stunning work!

L A Lullaby—Ryan Murphy.
The poetry of Eugene Field is captured beautifully in
this original work. The words of the lullaby speak both
to a child falling asleep and to a child who "does not
hear his mother's song." The lilting triple meter and
the movement of the piano accompaniment imitate
rocking. Add the optional strings for a lush effect.
"And as I sing, my sweet, to you, oh, would
the lullaby I sing - the same sweet lullaby he knew
while slumbering on this bosom too - were borne
to him on angel's wing! So hushaby - O hushaby."
Highly recommended!
