lD Lake Isle of Innisfree—Eleanor Daley. This
simple, delightful setting of a Yeats poem

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).
The text, from poet Rabindranath Tagore's own
English translation of his Gitanjali, celebrates
life's most meaningful moments such as closing
a chapter with hearts full and excitement for the
future. A unique and powerful work!

t Lead with Love—Melanie DeMore. Lead With
Love was written in answer to a call for connection
in troubled times. It is about persistence,
community, and moving ahead. "One foot in front
of the other" is a metaphor for determination and
forward motion. 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.

l
A Life Well Lived—Braeden Ayres. Based on
the Edgar Albert Guest poem Compensation,
the text of this original concert work asks us to
consider what we would like to be able to say
about our lives when we look back in our old age.
The melody has a familiar folk song feel, and the
addition of a pennywhistle or flute enhances the
warm, comfortable tone of the piece.

L Lift Every Voice and Sing—J. Rosamond
Johnson/arr. Roland Carter. Roland Carter's
arrangement is the absolute standard for this
classic anthem of the civil rights movement,
which has also become known as the unofficial
Black American National Anthem. James Weldon
Johnson's text rings loud and clear in this choral
setting for mixed divisi choir and piano, expressing
all the emotion and determination of the lyrics
along with the artistry of the setting. Amazing!

Opening with narration consisting of poignant
quotes about doing what is right, this piece
speaks of hope, compassion, justice, and
unity. Sung in English and Swahili, the solemn

throughout this inspiring song. A pronunciation
guide is provided.

D Lift Your Voice and Rejoice!—Victor C.
L
Johnson. Triumphant and energetic opening
and closing sections fill this original work with
syncopated momentum and brisk harmonic
development. A contrasting middle section
sings "Gaudeamus hodie" with lyrical lines in
smooth choral counterpoint before reprising to
a glorious finish. A wonderful choice to open a
concert or festival!

Little Willow—Paul McCartney/arr. Susan
Brumfield. Written after the passing of a
friend, this simple and eloquent expression of
tenderhearted friendship, love, and grief brings
hope for brighter days ahead. "Sleep, little willow,
peace gonna follow. Time will heal your wounds.
Grow to the heavens, now and forever always
came too soon."

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.

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.

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.

L
a cheerful traditional English round with two sets
of lyrics that make it useful for holiday programs
or at any time of year. The melody is lyrical and
lovely and develops into a round setting that is

key change build a more robust final presentation.
Easy to learn and impressive to perform!

DL 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.
