De Bye and Bye—arr. Rollo Dilworth. This stylized
gospel arrangement of the traditional spiritual
features a terrific layered bridge section with
traditional gospel stacking. Rock-solid choral
writing and a beautifully written piano part give
this moving selection an authentic gospel sound.

e Come By Here—arr. Kyle Pederson. This sweet
setting for SATB voices and piano of KUM BA
YAH is so thoughtfully different from any other
arrangement that it is not to be missed! Musically
sound and creative, with occasional guided piano
improvisation, it includes a quote of the hymn tune
NICAEA (Holy, Holy, Holy).

te Elijah Rock—arr. Victor C. Johnson. Possessing
crisp a cappella harmonies and cool syncopation
in the vocal parts, this work is a solid choice for
developing choirs in both concert and festival
settings. An original bridge augments the popular
traditional spiritual melody, and the echoing
harmony parts in the chorus add to the rhythmic
texture. A fresh arrangement of a choral classic!

Give Me Oil in My Lamp—arr. Kyle Pederson.
This driving arrangement mashes up two iconic
melodies: Give Me Oil in My Lamp and Swing
Low. Written for SAB choir, this work is accessible
while still being meaningful and fun to sing, with a
message of joy and peace that is appropriate for
any season.

I'm On My Way—arr. Anthony Trecek-King.
Rhythmic, driving, and intense, this is a rich
selection for treble choruses. A lesser-known
spiritual speaking to themes of home, journey,
and trial, this is an accessible and dynamic
arrangement.

De Lift Every Voice and Sing—J. Rosamond
Johnson/arr. Rollo Dilworth. This beloved anthem
of the civil rights movement retains its gospel flavor
in this accessible two-part arrangement. Mostly in
unison with some simple harmonies, this version is
appropriate for use by most choirs. A supportive
piano accompaniment completes the feel.

Music in the Air—arr. Ryan Murphy. "Over my
head I hear music in the air, there must be a God
somewhere." The traditional spiritual is a mix of
hopeful lyrics about the future, despite our current
afflictions. This setting brings an exciting new life
to the traditional melody with an active piano part
that moves the piece from lyrical to a syncopated
gospel feel without breaking tempo or style. The
choral parts employ traditional harmonies and
some divisi in the final section to create a full-
throated celebration of life.

Light of Mine will appeal to many levels of treble
choruses. Singable and skillfully arranged, this
setting is fun, exciting, and captures the gentle
joy of this spiritual. The piano accompaniment is
simple and supportive.

e Wayfarin' Stranger—arr. Linda Spevacek.
Intriguingly different, this jazzy, bluesy setting of
the classic spiritual really does pop with its fun,
stylized piano accompaniment. With quite a bit of
independence in the vocal lines, it is easy to teach
and fun to sing.

FOLK SONGS
Dreaming—Linda Spevacek. A short pairing
of two folk songs, this brief but sensitive lullaby
features the American folk song, All the Pretty
Little Horses, and the Welsh folk melody, Suo
Gan. Beautiful in its simplicity, it's a good
teaching piece with plenty of unison singing
and trading off of the melody. Optional parts for
finger cymbals, glockenspiel, and metallophone
enhance performance.

Howdidow, Deediddleumday (Leatherwing
Bat)—arr. Vicki Tucker Courtney. A fantastic
piece to teach vowels, diction, rhythms, and pitch
precision, this English folk song is fun to sing and
impressive to perform. The nonsense syllables
represent birds and bats chatting to one another
in a rhythmic, witty fashion that your students
will love to sing. An excellent opening festival
selection for developing choirs!

tongue-twisting, rhyming round is fun! Both singers

a great way for singers to learn to use their whole
voice and support while singing quickly.

t Marie Madeleine—arr. Jeanette Gallant. Lively
and engaging, this arrangement of an Acadian
folksong features the quintessential elements of
the tradition: podorythmie (seated foot-tapping),
diddlage (mouth music), and the spoons. With
playful vocal slides and energetic rhythmic
motifs, this arrangement offers a modern twist
on this well-loved melody from the French-
Canadian oral tradition.

Scarborough Fair—arr. Michael Higgins.
Higgins' setting of this popular folk song opens
simply and then moves along with gradually
increasing contrapuntal interest. The lovely
arpeggiated piano accompaniment flows gently
alongside the vocal lines, creating suspensions
that reflect the mystery of the text. A wonderful
choice for young treble choirs!

setting of the beloved American folk song has
been artistically arranged for unison or two-
part treble choirs of any age. A beautiful piano

harmonies for a gorgeous effect.
