L Peace to the World—Hyun Kook/arr. Alan
Robert Petker. This simple yet meaningful work
pairs the familiar text Dona Nobis Pacem with a
gentle cascading melodic idea. In the middle of the
song, an aleatoric rendering of the text in numerous
languages occurs that makes the message even
more profound. The performance possibilities are
endless, with ideas for choreography and sign
language to heighten it further.

L Pie Jesu—Hyun Kook. A text from the Requiem
mass receives a uniquely expressive setting
by this South Korean composer. With colorful
chromaticism and subtle tempo and dynamic
nuances throughout, it presents many educational
opportunities. The flowing vocal lines carry
reassuring words that seem to float in midair
above serene piano writing.
11172876 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.05
Lt Prayer for a New Day—Jonathan Reid. Modern
cluster harmonies within an a cappella texture,
this setting of Christian Robert Shockley's text
is inspired by the writings and sayings of Mr.
Fred Rogers. The SATB texture features some
divisi and is crowned by a high solo. A poignant
reflection with broad application, it is beautiful in
its subtle urgency.

The Promised Land—Ken Burton. This work
for chorus and chamber orchestra was premiered
to acclaim by the Oakwood University Aeolians
at the 2019 ACDA national conference. This work
combines original material with spirituals and text
by important historical figures to create a piece
that follows the experience of black Americans
during and after the civil rights era.

L The Red Gold Darkness of Rain—Dominick
DiOrio. This unique work, set to an Amy Lowell
poem, has the feeling of a soundscape and will
appeal to the adventuresome choir wanting to
engage the audience with their performance.

L Remember the Children—Kyle Pederson. This
work expresses the concerns that all people -
particularly parents - have for bringing up the
younger generation in this trying world. The
combination of the English lyrics with their Swahili
translation reflects the universal nature of this
sentiment, and the combination of a pop ballad
feel and a gospel groove in this beautiful song will
appeal to all.

Requiem (from "The Unarmed Child")—
Adrian Dunn & Michael Bussewitz-Quarm. Part
hip hopera, part choral, this work challenges the
audience to listen to the families of the victims of
gun violence. This is an impassioned plea to take
a stand against not only gun violence, but to take
a stand for under-represented communities who
experience a disproportionate level of violence
resulting from a variety of factors playing out in
contemporary society. Extracted from the larger
work "The Unarmed Child" this stand-alone third
movement is for tenor soloist with a mixture
of sung and rapped lines and dramatic choir
reinforcement.

Sanctus (from "The World Beloved: A
Bluegrass Mass" Second Edition)—Carol
Barnett. Here is the updated second edition of
the Sanctus from the major work "The World
Beloved: A Bluegrass Mass." The solemnity of
the classical-based Mass joins together with
the down-home sparkle of bluegrass to create a
work that is unique in scope; a beautiful union of
seemingly disparate musical traditions.
10052391 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.50
L Sanctus (from Requiem for the Living)—Dan
Forrest. A number of movements from Requiem
for the Living by Dan Forrest comfortably stand
alone. The Sanctus, movement IV from the work,
is scored for divisi mixed chorus with keyboard
or orchestra (full or chamber). For the advanced
collegiate, or community ensemble, the piece
could easily open a concert. Powerful!

te Say Her Name—Alysia Lee. If you say the name,
you're prompted to learn the story. Promote
inclusivity and awareness with Say Her Name,
written specifically to highlight elements of the
Kwanzaa ceremony. Featuring body percussion,
a call and response texture and background
vocables, along with the option to add additional
percussion instruments and adapt the key to fit
your ensemble, this powerful piece will resonate
with our generation's desire for unity and
reconciliation.

See the Light—Sarah Quartel. Inspired by the
Hawaiian story The Bowl of Light, Sarah Quartel
has crafted an uplifting piece exploring the
light that radiates from each person to create
a sense of community. This pop-like concert
work employs uplifting melodies and energetic
rhythms with a supportive piano accompaniment.
A wonderful choice for treble choirs of all ages!

Sigue—Ivette Herryman Rodriguez. A lively
and fun selection in Spanish, featuring a piano
accompaniment characteristic of Cuban rhythms
and harmonies. This is an impressive concert or
festival piece for any choir.

Sing as One—Jude B. Roldan. "Differences
color humanity, so let us unite in diversity, for
life's just too wondrous to sing alone... Open your
hearts to the world; let's sing together as one!"
This joyful song of hope has served as the theme
song for a festival in Indonesia and again as a
virtual choir online video during the COVID-19
pandemic. Playful melodies layer and create
beautiful harmonic moments for treble choirs of
all ages.
11218540 Three-Part Treble or SSA. . ME 2.55
Sing Out, My Soul!—Marques L. A. Garrett.
William Henry Davies' text is given a driving,
rhythmic setting for mixed or treble choirs that
encourages singer and listener alike to "sing
out!" their songs of joy. The contrasting middle
section is undergirded with rhythmic energy from
the piano accompaniment, while allowing for the
choral lines to explore more contemplative lyrical
phrasing before a return to the joyful texture of the
beginning. A wonderful opening selection!

Slow Down—Ian Assersohn. With a relaxed
swing feel and imaginative lyrics, this creative
piece encourages us all to take time out of our busy
lives to slow down and enjoy the world around us.
Some scat syllables and jazzy harmonies give the
vocal lines a modern influence, all underpinned by
a supportive and colorful piano part.

The Song Maker—Thomas Juneau. This set
of three songs based on Sara Teasdale poems
reflects the emotional journey of the human
heart. Interesting and accessible vocal writing
is supported by an imaginative and thoughtful
accompaniment.
