4 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

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.

A wonderful selection to teach musical sensitivity to
young mixed choirs!

Star Canon (with Pachelbel's Canon in D)—
David Waggoner. A brand new melody beautifully
complements Pachelbel's Canon along with a
twinkling text from the nursery rhyme Star Light,
Star Bright as well as some new words about
making wishes. A delicate balance of round- and
partner-singing makes this an ideal selection for
younger groups to learn to sing in harmony.

for loving and a time to care, a time to open up
our hearts and share, a time for spreading joy
ev'rywhere, as the cycle of life goes on." Charlotte
Lee's school-friendly adaptation of Ecclesiastes
3:1-10 joins the classic music of American
composer Natalie Sleeth in this piece featuring a

D
Thunder Drums (Sounds of Nature)—Roger
Emerson. "Street" bucket drumming has become
a popular music classroom activity and is appealing
because of its reliance on found materials, the
overabundance of plastic, and its general coolness
factor. This dynamic original pairs bucket drums
with choir, seamlessly blending the two disciplines
into a rock anthem with style. Creative and original!
