SECULAR medium-easy
l The Tall Wind, the River and the Tree—Mary
Donnelly & George L.O. Strid. Based on Fannie
Stearns Davis' whimsical poem For a Child and
incorporating the Quaker song Simple Gifts, this
lyrical choral with optional flute delights with its
simplicity and gentleness. Youthful voice leading
and a tender accompaniment helps deliver the
message of how we are connected with each
other and the world around us.

lD Tenho Todos os Sonhos (I Have All the
Dreams)—Daisy Fragoso. Using both English
and Portuguese text, this diverse piece is
set in a wonderful Brazilian samba style with
piano and optional percussion. Its message of
hopes and dreams being fulfilled will resonate

4L Terpsichore Dances!—Amy F. Bernon. In this
wonderfully unique composition, Amy F. Bernon's
vibrant and embracing writing centers around the
"girl power" theme of freedom and being oneself.
A brisk yet graceful tempo, an engaging piano
part, and confident vocal lines all enliven this
powerful message. "Terpsichore dances, her
rhythm entrances. She sings and the air that
you breathe turns to song. She's wild and she's
free and her hair winds around her. Terpsichore,
graceful, beautiful, strong!"

4 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.

setting lauds the value of a song to improve the
quality of our lives. Chord symbols are included

There is Peace—Jim Papoulis. The essence of
this work, in a world of conflict and violence, is
the need for a deep understanding that peace can
come from all of us. After the opening phrase,
"Look in the eyes of the children, feel the touch
of their hands, there is peace," the verse enters,
with a full, yet still gentle sound. The refrain is
more celebratory, followed by a quiet bridge and
an ending which is calm and introspective, much
like the opening.

There Is Sweet Music Here—Greg Gilpin.
Your choir will sound magnificent when they
sing this superb setting of the famous text by
Alfred, Lord Tennyson. "There is sweet music
here that softer falls than petals from blown
roses on the grass, or night dews on still
waters..." With very modest vocal demands, this
is perfect for the young choir, but mature choirs
will also appreciate its musicality and depth.
Highly recommended!

4L 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!

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!

arr. Nathan Payant. Two of Clara Schumann's

sich beide and Warum willst du and're fragen,

people often know how to speak to the heart
of matters more clearly than adults. Here, in
