t Listen Here—Sally Lamb McCune. Based on a
text by Langston Hughes, this piece speaks of the
terrible cost of war. A cappella with optional vocal
percussion, this concert work is reminiscent of a
spiritual while using mixed meter and syncopation
to create pop-influenced rhythms. The music is
urgent, driven, and calls on the singers to produce
a wide range of dynamics and emotions.

Lt Lomis Creek—Jacob Narverud. Heartwarming
and poignant, this original a cappella concert work
tells the story of a 19th-century American pioneer
with plans to move west and "settle down on rolling
plains" near a life-giving stream. With captivating
lyrics and rich contemporary harmonies, this is
sure to become a favorite for choirs.

t Lord, Listen to Your Children—Ken Medema/
arr. Kenneth Dake. Ken Medema's well-known
song is given a tour de force a cappella treatment
by Kenneth Dake. Requiring eight-part divisi, the
choir sings abundant gospel harmonies and doo-
wop syllables accompany the high-voice soloist in
the middle of the piece. It is exciting and dynamic,
not to be missed!
11199606 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . MA 2.70
t Love Psalm—Darmon Meader. As a concert
closer, signature piece, encore or graduation
song, this a cappella original is a little gem! "Days
come, days go. We try to take the time to let love
grow. Don't ignore the sands of time. Just let a
little love in, yours and mine..." The gorgeous
jazz-tinged harmonies impart a special warmth to
this tender message of love.
11198314 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 1.50
DL Love Shall Be Our Token—Michael John
Trotta. "Love shall be our token, love be yours
and love be mine...love shall be our prayer, love
shall be our sign." This gorgeous setting of the
Christina Rosetti text is a wonderful expression of
love, support, and unity. Accompanied by either
organ or piano, the thoughtful voicing leading,
conservative ranges, and opportunities for
expressive singing make it both accessible and
musically satisfying.
11315439 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.65
L Magnificat—Taylor Davis. Premiered and
recorded by the acclaimed Voces8, this gorgeous
five-movement setting of the Magnificat is scored
for SATB divisi voices and soprano solo with
piano, chamber orchestra, or full orchestra. The
second movement is in English, opening and
closing with a soloist. The remaining movements
are choral only and are in Latin. 33 minutes.
11199730 SATB Choral Score . . . . . . . . . 9.95
Lt Mama Said—Ruthie Foster/arr. Paul Rardin.
American blues icon Ruthie Foster released Mama
Said on her 2007 recording The Phenomenal
Ruthie Foster. The lyrics are a mother's advice to
her daughter, warning her to "learn how to pray"
and to fall on your knees before you fall in the
wrong direction. This arrangement is deliberately
choral, honoring Ms. Foster's exquisite vocal
shadings - a bend here, a fall-off there - by
avoiding exact imitation. The basses provide the
rhythm section of electric bass and closed hi-hat
cymbal, leaving the upper three parts in gospel
harmony in all but a few measures of the piece.
An arresting and totally unique setting.
11197390 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 3.05
Mass in F Major—Marcel Tyberg. Recently
brought to light and to performance for the first
time by the South Dakota Chorale, this beautiful
Mass setting features SATB choir and organ and
can be used in full as a concert work, excerpted,
or used in liturgical settings. The composer,
Marcel Tyberg, died at Auschwitz before his later
works could be performed.
11165733 SATB Choral Score . . . . . . ME 7.50
Measure Me, Sky!—Jonathan Reid. Floating
melodic lines and resonant harmonies combine,
lending an ethereal quality to this artistic piece
that allows the imagination to soar. Leonora
Speyer's evocative text explores our relationship
to the universe, and the musical setting provides
delicious cluster harmonies supported by
undulating triplets in the piano accompaniment to
create a sense of motion and mystique.

t A Moonlighting Sonata—Ludwig van
Beethoven/arr. Christopher Moore, Katie Jeffries-
Harris & Paul Smith. This arrangement, written for
VOCES8, presents a dreamlike choral fantasia
based on the first movement of Beethoven's
famous Moonlight piano sonata. Particularly
suitable for choirs of mixed ability, this work
is a wonderful way to celebrate the genius of
Beethoven in any setting.
11205647 SATB/Unison Double Choir . M 3.50
Music When Soft Voices Die—David Paul
Henry. This lush treble choir setting of the
beautiful Percy Bysshe Shelley poem will "vibrate
in the memory" of the listeners and resonate in
the hearts of the singers.
11202006 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.00
My Name Is Lamiya: Don't Call Me Refugee—
Michael Bussewitz-Quarm. This composition
was written to bring attention to one of the most
significant and challenging issues in our world
today, the global refugee crisis. Nine year old
Lamiya Safarova lost her home and her village,
and she began writing poems to express her
feelings. The stirring text and repeated rhythmic
elements persist throughout this work, along with
body percussion that represents the journey of
the refugee, forced away from their home, most
often by foot.

L No Color—Stacey V. Gibbs & Shawn Kirchner.
From two very important composers of our time,
the lyrics in this monumental work challenge ideas
of racism and discrimination, while the music
combines jazz and traditional choral techniques.
No Color offers choirs the chance to declare that
no color can come between us.

L Nothing Gold Can Stay—Timothy P. Cooper.
"Nature's first green is gold, her hardest hue
to hold. Her early leaf's a flow'r; but only so an
hour." Robert Frost's insightful words, dwelling
on the inevitability that nothing lasts forever,
come into sharper focus in this distinguished
setting. Written for mature college and community
ensembles, this piece displays a full palette of
choral textures without the addition of divisi or a
cappella sections.
11195160 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.20
Dt O Earth, Loving Mother—Mark Sirett. One
of Canada's most treasured poets, Archibald
Lampman writes of the urgent need for us all
to be respectful and mindful of the fragility of
Mother Earth. This socially conscious text is set
for mixed choirs with a beautiful, gently rocking a
cappella texture that surrounds the melody with
rhythmic interest and life. Useful for a variety of
environmental occasions, or for any concert.
