H True Light—Keith Hampton. Opening phrases
of the traditional spiritual This Little Light of Mine
launch this exciting work into Keith Hampton's
original words and music, which feature a sixteen-
measure soprano solo sung to lines from tenth-
century poet Grigor Narekatzi's Book of Mournful
Chants: "Don't let the light that You've given me
die, And don't desert my mind. But let the one
who serves You Praise You again and again." The
repeated responses "He lives in us as True Light"
and "God gave the world True Light" give solid
impact to every phrase. School and church choirs
will revel in the spiritual depth and driving rhythmic
feel of this extraordinarily soulful choral!

spirituals - Over My Head, arranged in a straight
gospel style, and Michael Row the Boat Ashore, set

voices. The second part is optional, so these
pieces can be sung by a soloist, combined choir,
or small ensemble, giving directors a wide variety
of teachable material.

resulting in a crescendo of excitement in roof-raising
fashion as the choir sings "in the city that is made of
gold." Now available for tenor/bass voicing.

Exquisite poetry!
A SILVER THREAD
Charles Anthony Silvestri.
A poem is a powerful thing - it
can touch the heart in ways that
mere words cannot. But a lyric
poem has the benefit of a custom
soundtrack, so listeners get to
experience the words with the
added emotional power of music.
The choral art is a magical synergy:
the poet's heart, borne aloft by the
genius of the composer's music,
expertly interpreted by the director,
is internalized and brought to life
by the singers and then carried as
a gift into the spirit of the listener.
When it all works like it's supposed
to, it is wondrous. A Silver Thread
is a comprehensive collection of
Silvestri's lyric poetry written between
2001 and 2018, including texts
commissioned by choral composers
and ensembles as well as many
new and unset poems - available all
together for the first time.
