The Turtle Dove
arr. Victor C. Johnson.
A solemn reflection on parting with the promise to return - these feelings are
beautifully expressed in this sensitive arrangement of the 18th-century English
folk ballad. Lush choral writing surrounds this gorgeous melody, and the optional
cello obbligato and flowing piano accompaniment add to the plaintive feel.

Two Essential Spirituals for Emerging
Tenor-Bass Choir
arr. Jacob Averitt.
This set of two spirituals - Over My Head, arranged in a straight gospel style,
and Michael Row the Boat Ashore, set in a swing style - was written to meet
the challenge of finding quality repertoire for unchanged male 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.

Ubi Caritas
Marianne Kim.
In a masterful blend of early musical style with modern melody and harmonies,
this beautiful setting of the traditional text shines with elegant simplicity. A
rubato piano opening leads to a unison chant-like choral opening that gradually
expands with lush harmonic language while the melody soars. This is a piece
where your choir's musical sensitivity is on full display.

Uskudar
arr. Mark Burrows.
This energetic setting of the Turkish folk song utilizes repetition so that the short
Turkish text, once learned, becomes easier with each repetition of the chorus.
The tempo increases as the arrangement builds, creating a whirling and exciting
effect. Incorporate the optional oboe, finger cymbals, tambourine, and dumbek
for added authenticity. A pronunciation guide and translation are provided.

Verbum Caro Factum Est
Yani Araujo.
A fresh setting of a traditional Latin text by a young composer, this beautiful
piece bridges the ancient and the modern with lush choral harmonies for tenor-
bass choirs. A wonderful piece worthy of study with high performance value.

Viva!
(from "Il re pastore"
W.A. Mozart/arr. Patrick M. Liebergen.
A triumphant Mozart masterwork for today's choirs! This joyful opera finale
opens and closes with a boisterous choral fanfare that features a brief,
expressive vocal duet in the middle. The text is in Italian with optional English
translation and IPA pronunciation guide included. The choral parts are
supported by an exciting piano accompaniment for an arrangement
that remains true to the original while being accessible to school choirs.
Not necessarily familiar, but undeniably fantastic!

The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls
Victor C. Johnson.
The lilting melody in this lovely setting depicts the Longfellow text with motives
representing the ebb and flow of the sea. Pretty and plaintive, with rich choral
harmonies, this piece is an excellent choice for festival season or any time of year.

There Is More Love Somewhere
arr. Robert I. Hugh.
"I'm gonna keep on 'til I find it, there is more love somewhere." This simple
chorus from a traditional spiritual is a perfect theme for young singers.
Alternating between accompanied and a cappella sections, the full harmonies
created in this texture offer just a bit of divisi but plenty of warmth that builds to
a clap chorus and a place for the audience to join in.

This Is Who We Are
Mark Burrows.
"When we reach out to shine and share our light, we show the world that,
together, we can do beautiful things. This is who we are!" This positive text
would make a great theme song for choirs of all ages. The powerful setting
features soloists, compelling harmonies that build in drama, and a djembe part
to give it the modern world music feel. Effective and important!

"When you just don't feel okay, chase that gloom away. Start a major melody.
Sing it out with me." This arrangement of
Toodala is a bright, upbeat song in
swing style that will bring a smile to everyone's face. Mostly unison throughout,
with sections of easily learned harmony, it is a great way to start the school
year with young singers!
