"
You all rock!"
—Jeremiah Jacks, Music Teacher, Somerset, CA

arrangement of Toto's chart-topping hit from
1983 is a must for younger choirs! Complete with
optional parts for claves/bells, cabasa and conga
drums, it spans the generations in its appeal! "I
hear the drums echoing tonight, but she hears
only whispers of some quiet conversation..."
New for SSA!

De Bandyrowe—arr. Susan Brumfield. "Way up
yonder above the moon, a bluebird sits in a silver
spoon. Kitty alone and I..." This Irish nonsense
song is a whirling, twirling kaleidoscope of
sound - an excellent showcase for young treble
choirs! "To me tat, me tear, me ditt'n o-dill, Kitty
alone and I."

4L Be a Light—arr. Tim Hayden. "In a world full of
hate, be a light." These lyrics strike a meaningful
chord about our power to affect change in
the world. Recorded by Thomas Rhett, Reba
McEntire, Hillary Scott, Chris Tomlin, and Keith
Urban, this anthem of hope and unity holds a
significant message. The singable melody and

to perform.

Dt Bhombela—arr. Will Skaff/ed. Melissa Keylock.

Ht Bonse Aba—arr. Victor C. Johnson. Sizzling
e with celebratory rhythmic energy, this Zambian
folk song loosely translates as: "Those who
sing have the right to be called the children of
God." The only accompanying instruments are
hand drum (treble drum), djembe (bass drum),
and shaker, which add authentic flavor and
opportunities for improvisation. The vocal parts
are easily learned due to their repetition and call-
and-response style. Highly recommended!

The Breeze and the Birdsong—Amy F.
Bernon. "May the bright, sparkling day stay
beside you now as you're on your way." Full

important transitions of their own. A valuable

Le Calico Cat—Andy Beck. "Black as the midnight,
and white as the snow; gold as the sunshine,
my cat of calico." This folk song styled original
features easy-to-sing harmonic patterns and a
tongue twisting patter text that tells the tale of
the whimsically colorful cat. Cued notes offer a
three-part texture in novelty piece that explores
diction and precision in a delightful package!

He Cantar!—Jay Althouse. Cuban salsa music is
sweeping the country, and Cantar! (which means
"Sing!" in Spanish) is a stylistically authentic
salsa work for choir. The text is a combination of
English and simple, repetitive Spanish phrases,
set to a rhythmically infectious melody. It's a
cross-cultural song for general concerts,
especially during "Music In Our Schools" month.
The recorded accompaniment really sizzles!

Cornstalk Fiddle and a Shoestring Bow—
arr. Mark Burrows. Grab a kazoo and have a
rip-roarin' good time singing this knee-slappin'
American folk song for two-part ensembles.

diction and ample unison make this a great
instructional piece for early in the year.
10979650 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
He Count on Me—arr. Janet Day. Here's a song
by Bruno Mars that is perfect for young choirs!
"If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of
the sea, I'll sail the world to find you. If you ever
find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see,
I'll be the light to guide you..." Your students will
easily relate to these "friendship" lyrics, set to a
fast shuffle beat. The tune is so catchy and kid-
friendly, it's easy to like! Highly recommended!

4L Don't Give Up on Me—arr. Andy Beck. "I'm
e not givin' up... no, not yet." Featured in the movie
"Five Feet Apart," Andy Grammer's hit song
speaks of the power of friendship, the strength
to fight, and the importance of support during
difficult times. The catchy syncopated chorus
has great stacked harmonies and optional
handclaps.

e The Dream Keeper—Rollo Dilworth. A per-
sistent underlying rhythm gives this setting of the
Langston Hughes poem a powerful, mysterious
drive. "Bring me all of your dreams, you dream-
ers. Bring me all of your Heart melodies, that
I may wrap them in a blue cloud cloth away
from the too-rough fingers of the world..." Use
conga drums to enhance the impact of this
compelling work!
10011858 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10
He El Vito—arr. Emily Crocker. A whirling, twirling
Andalusian dancer is vividly portrayed in
this setting of a traditional Spanish folksong.

accompaniment make this an excellent choice
for developing choirs to show their Latin flair!
The text is well balanced between Spanish and
English, with lots of fun "la-la-la" phrases. Highly
recommended!

pop song with a delightful hook and charming
lyrics, complete with lightning bugs! Full of
rhythmic and accented melodic lines, this
arrangement is carefully crafted to be accessible
for younger choirs.
11190067 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.15
He Firefly—Andy Beck. Excellent craftsmanship
is apparent in this delightful tone painting as
an accented vocal theme creates the image
of flickering fireflies on a dark summer night.
Carefully selected ranges and intervals, youthfully
inquisitive lyrics, a delicate accompaniment
and a whispered ending all add up to a very
special concert feature for young choirs! Highly
recommended!

vocal harmonies. "This is our song for the first
responders; you lift us when we fall."
