4L Be the Change—Jacob Narverud. Following
on the heels of his wildly popular Sisi Ni Moja,
Narverud returns with another show-stopping
piece in a similar style. With influences from world
music and an upbeat rhythmic style, this socially
responsive text of empowerment and peace will be
a great choice for choirs of all ages.

Become Yourself—Vicki Tucker Courtney. This
arrangement, from Vicki Tucker Courtney's solo
of the same title, is set in a contemporary ballad
style. The feel-good, empowering text expresses
the hope that each person will recognize their own
special and unique talents. A fitting theme and style
for young, developing choirs!

4L Beyond the Years—Mark Patterson. A song of
hope for the future, this well-crafted piece is great
for young mixed choirs, with conservative ranges,
interesting lines to sing in each part, and a warm
section of harmony with a key change variant in the
bridge. American poet Paul Laurence Dunbar's text
is especially appropriate for a moving-up ceremony
or as a ballad in a contest set.

lL Boats Sail on the River—Barbara Poulshock.
The title is a bit deceiving because this Rossetti
text is lauding the clouds of the sky over the boats
and ships. Selected for the Judith Herrington
series, this is a delightful song for children's choirs.
A lilting 6/8 meter carries the flowing message
steadily. Easy in difficulty.

l Boats Sail on the Rivers—Mark Patterson.
This choral setting of a brief and simple poem by
Christina Rossetti offers a poignant comparison
between things made by people and the things
found in the natural world. With lovely harmonies
and a flowing piano accompaniment, this piece will
appeal to treble ensembles looking for growth in
tone, text, and musical line development.

The Breeze and the Birdsong—Amy F. Bernon.
"May the bright, sparkling day stay beside you
now as you're on your way." Full of descriptions
of nature and fresh adventures, Bernon's original
concert piece is a charming selection for young
singers who are moving up to middle or high school
and experiencing important transitions of their own.
A valuable Learning Resource Page is included.

4L Bringers of Noise—Kyle Pederson. This is
different! Using a fictional language combined
with a powerful English text, this exceptional
piece effectively combines narration, rhythmic
chanting and whispers, singing, vocal
percussion, stomps with drum, and a driving
piano accompaniment to create an atmosphere
of drama and mystique. Mixed choirs can adapt
the SA voicing by doubling the soprano part at the
octave. Not to be missed!

4L A Call for Peace—Jerry Estes. This timeless
t
call for peace in the world, based on a Gregorian
chant-like vibe in minor mode, creates an ancient-
modern concert work with a message that is
appropriate for any time of year. Designed to be
three-part a cappella, but with the option of piano
accompaniment and additional percussion, this
well-crafted piece features reasonable ranges for
young singers in an exciting imitative texture that is
easy to learn and impressive to perform.

4 Cambiar el Mundo—Jim Papoulis. Here is a work
with a Spanish flair but also in the style we have
come to expect from Jim Papoulis. Positive, with a
message that speaks to young people around the
world. "We can make a difference" rings loud and
clear in this unison anthem.

Can You Hear Me?—Bob Chilcott. The simple
message, "Can you see, feel, hear me, the sun
too?" is expressed through sign language as
this two-part choral is sung. Signing pictures are
included on the opening page for both British and
American sign language. A popular choice with
festival choirs!

Cantate! Sing Joy!—Joseph M. Martin & Patricia
Mock. This song of celebration is rhythmic and
syncopated with effective use of mixed meter. Using
just a touch of Latin with the word "cantate," the text
is mostly in English. Plenty of unison and two-part
writing makes this piece easily learned and sets your
choir up for success. With a dynamic yet accessible
piano part adding the final touch, this piece would
make a wonderful festival or concert opener.

L
Canticum Novum—Andy Beck. Looking for
a piece that has high performance value and
great educational content? This well-constructed
original work for developing mixed or treble choirs
features all that and more. A music-themed text
that incorporates simple Latin as well as English
creates the opportunity to form pure vowels, while
contrasting phrases offer the opportunity to sing
syncopated, energetic lines alternating with sweet
moments of legato phrasing.

4L Carnival of the Animals: Choral Set I—Camille
Saint-Saens/arr. Heather Sorenson. Introduce
Saint-Saen's beloved instrumental chamber
work in a highly creative way! Playful original
lyrics accompany strong two-part writing and
an enchanting accompaniment. To get the full
effect, consider adding the optional flute part for
Aquarium, and/or the optional xylophone part for
Fossils. May be performed separately or as a four-
minute concert set. Absolutely delightful!

lL Change the World!—Erik Whitehill. "Inspire in us
a fire in us to soar with wings unfurled, and we
can do it, we can change the world!" This positive
message combines with conservative ranges that
make it an enjoyable piece to teach and sing. A
bright, forward-looking original, it is great for
graduations or moving-up ceremonies and as a
concert opener or closer.

A Child of Song—Derryl Herring & Andy Beck.
Don't be fooled by the five-four meter of this
original canon for 2-part voices, because it's
amazingly simple to learn! Perhaps it's the lilting
jazzy groove, the supportive piano part, and the
well-crafted melody that make A Child of Song a
cinch to sing and a pleasure to perform. Students
will love this song about the music inside of them!
Highly recommended!

H Choose Something Like a Star (from
"Frostiana")—Randall Thompson. Robert Frost's
outstanding text is magnificently enhanced by
Randall Thompson's music in this choral standard
for concerts and commencements. Thompson's
setting of the entire Frost work "Frostiana" is a
keystone of the choral literature.

Clap and Sing, Join Together!—Victor C.
Johnson. This vibrant celebration in classic
ABA form has a nice, syncopated opening and
a contrasting lyrical middle section. It consists
primarily of unison writing with some easily
taught moments of two- and three-part harmony.
Arranged in a comfortable range for middle school
voices, it also features simple clapping patterns
and nice harmonic moments and is an especially
effective concert opener.

Lightfoot. Joyful and celebratory, this original
choral is an excellent opening concert selection
for young voices. Easy mixed meter, minor
tonality, and optional handclaps create the
driving, rhythmic feel that propels the piece from
beginning to end. Highly recommended!

lL Clap Your Hands!—David Waggoner. A wide
array of musical moods and artful contrasts are
represented in this dynamic festival or concert
selection. A striking minor theme opens the piece,
enhanced by percussive handclaps. In the middle
section, a lyrical major-key melody surfaces along
with beautifully sustained legato choral phrases.
A joyful recapitulation creates a dynamic ending
that will really help your choir sound their best!

Clear and Sweet Is My Soul—Michael John
Trotta. Flowing, smooth, melodic writing creates
an understated elegance which reflects the
simplicity of the text. The legato unison line
introduced originally is treated in canon in the
middle section, and eventually is restated. This
can be performed as part of a set of four Whitman
settings by the composer.

H
Closer to the Flame—Susan Boersma & David
Lantz III. The buoyant music and hopeful text of
this contemporary original are reminiscent of a
traditional American folk song. A compelling
accompaniment gracefully winds throughout,
easily navigating the metric changes. "New day
dawning, life before us unexplored. Morning sun
on fire above us lights the way..."

HL Come in from the Firefly Darkness—Amy
F. Bernon. This exquisite work has a haunting
yet whimsical quality as it tells its story from the
viewpoint of a wanderer who has returned home
to share life's experiences, only to leave again
in the final, bittersweet measures. "Open up
your door, my friend, and let me come in from
the firefly darkness..." A beautifully poetic text,
set to shimmering music, this sings so naturally
that it will really let your voices soar! The P/A CD
is compatible with the SATB, three-part mixed,
unison/two-part and TBB editions; the SSA
version is in a different key.

L Come Travel with Me—Scott Farthing. Walt
Whitman's Song of the Open Road is the basis for
this expansive and melodic original composition
that is perfectly suited to the young mixed chorus.
Limited range melodies and chordal harmonies
soar over an active piano accompaniment, creating

4L Connected—Brian Tate. "I am you are me...." This
t
innovative original uses a clever text and pop-style
music to create an environment of togetherness
among members of the choir. Community - that's
what it's all about. Each vocal part gets its own
statement, and all are sequenced together into a
rollicking chorus, all a cappella, all fun! Complete
with finger snaps and handclaps, this will be a hit
with your singers!

crafted vocal lines combine in lush harmony in
an easy and effective introduction into modern
a cappella singing. A beautiful text paired with an

and blend. Perform a cappella or with the optional

English text combined with Latin phrases from
