Come By Here—arr. Kyle Pederson. This
sensitive setting of the spiritual KUM BAH YAH
is not to be missed. In one spot the piano plays
a guided improvisation over the choir singing
neutral syllables. In another there is the option
to sing unaccompanied. An emotional high
point occurs when the sections each sing out
their situations, "longing, falling, hiding," then
answer together, "You are here." This work hits
every high mark in terms of vocal writing, a skillful
accompaniment, and a beautiful effect.

t
Paul Rardin. This bluesy setting requires three
treble soloists with power and confidence. The
choral backgrounds are deliberately sparse
imitating guitar, light organ, and banjo until a
climactic group shout. The music is driving
and relentless as the singers are determined to
be "ready to go" into the kingdom of God. The
characters in this unique and compelling work are
mother, sister, brother, neighbor, preacher, and
finally, self, which reminds us that all of us will all
face this journey, so we had best live right and
shout "Hallelujah" when our turn comes.

and artistic texture while remaining accessible
to choirs in school or community settings. The
optional string quartet parts add additional
serenity and depth.

Lt rhythmic ostinatos, cluster harmonies, and
soaring soprano lines are all present in this
exciting a cappella concert work, possessing all

concert opener, closer, or for festival use.
