H Goliath—Joseph Martin. "Goliath was a mighty

have seen him fall." The beloved story of David and
Goliath comes to life in this playful offering. The
quirky accompaniment and finger snaps just add to

Ht Hush! Somebody's Callin' My Name—arr.
Brazeal W. Dennard. This is the most appealing
arrangement of a spiritual that has been done in

treatment of the word "hush" that emphasizes the
last two letters of the word in a remarkably effective
way. Including dramatic unison passages and a
short solo section with characteristic background
figures, this is exceptionally easy to put together.
It's guaranteed to become a favorite of your choir
and a highlight of any performance!

RESOURCES
for the
CHILDREN'S
CHOIR DIRECTOR
The Joy of Part Singing (A Resource for Directors of Young Choirs)—
Mark Patterson. The Joy of Part Singing is a resource that will help children's
choirs experience greater success in part-singing through short, accessible warm-
ups, vocal exercises, rhythm chants, echo songs, mini-descants, and rounds.
While some of these exercises are for rehearsal only, others may be shared in
worship or in concert settings. Everything presented in the book was born out of
the author's own needs as a conductor of children's choirs. Even if your choir is
currently working towards solidifying a beautiful unison sound, these activities will
help singers build the foundation for singing in multiple parts in the future.
