ME 3.35 lL Last Kind Words—Paul John Rudoi. An exciting t concert work for tenor-bass choirs, this piece is conceived with driving, chant-like a cappella choral lines accompanied by notated body percussion and parts for shaker and drum(s).

A unique and powerful work! 11372835 TTBB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . MA 2.85 t Lead with Love—Melanie DeMore. Lead With Love was written in answer to a call for connection in troubled times.

The composer speaks of "love warriors" like Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, and Ghandhi—all who started their movements out of the love of their people not out of the hatred of someone else. 11317834 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.25 l A Life Well Lived—Braeden Ayres.

Amazing! 11316577 SATB divisi . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.85 Lift Up Your Voice—James DesJardins.

ME 2.25 11368276E String Quartet Parts ePrint. . . 30.00 l London Bridge Is Broken Down—arr. Meredith Tompkins. This old English tune is a less-familiar pairing with these well-known lyrics, making it a charming selection for young choirs. Flexibly arranged to be either unison all the way through or with two-part harmony, it may be performed a cappella or with the notated piano accompaniment. Through repetitive and imitative phrases that build from simple to more complex, the musical roadmap encourages exploration within a fixed structure. 11370893 Unison/Two-Part opt. a Cappella. . . . . . . . . ME 1.95 l Love-Free—Meredith Tompkins. Sara Teasdale's poem is paired with an enchanting melody, reminiscent of an antique music box, and a waltz-like accompaniment in a lilting 3/4 pattern. Varied in texture, with unison, two-part and three-part sections, this piece is a great training selection for treble choirs that also has a high performance value. 11370898 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
