t
Kyrie—Sofia Soderberg. Loosely based on a
Gregorian chant, this piece features harmonies
that are warm and modern. Apart from the Latin
text, there is really no sense of the ancient here
- moving parts are structured with full harmonies
that will challenge your advanced ensembles.

and serene setting for your holiday programming.

The Language of the Stars—Katerina Gimon.
Asymmetrical and mixed meter with twinkling
eighth-note patterns in the accompaniment set
the stage in this epic concert work about the
stars. The text by Martha Lavinia Hoffman speaks
of a longing to understand the vast universe while
still being tethered to the earth. The shifting meter
feels perfectly at rest in this well-crafted work that
rises to glorious heights before descending back
to the ground.
11348342 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
t Legacie—Lennox Berkeley. A previously
unpublished choral work by Lennox Berkeley,
written in 1943, sets words by John Donne in
mixed meter for divisi choir. "I meant to send this
heart in stead of mine, but oh, no man could hold
it, for 'twas thine." Lovely.

t
Leonora—Vera Lugo. A whimsical, catchy piece,
this is a fantastical story that alternates between
comical moments and the profundity of youthful
imagination. The hocketed harmonies and scale
patterns are an opportunity for singers to practice
ensemble unity while the melody bounces from
part to part, giving each singer an opportunity to
enjoy the lyrical lines. This is a fun, theatrical work
for advanced ensembles.

t Lie Still, Lie Still, My Breaking Heart—
Stephen Chatman. In this fragment from Christina
Rossetti's poem Mirage, the poet commands her
breaking heart to "lie still and break," the grief of
a lost love changing her life and the world forever.
This harmonically rich homophonic setting
concludes with an intense reprise and features a
floating soprano solo descant that soars above
the second half of the piece.
11373319 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.05

from the inaugural addresses of three former
presidents (FDR, JFK, and Obama), this very
inspirational and dramatic selection will be
a great concert piece for more advanced tenor-
bass choirs. Featuring a variety of sections,
this song in mixed meter includes a brief
a cappella section toward the end and has a
challenging piano accompaniment that your
pianist will enjoy.
11345234 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
Love Abide—Roxanna Panufnik. A 20-minute
major work in two parts, this selection
encapsulates the very contemporary ethos
of multicultural spiritual devotion in a world
populated by a rich diversity of faiths - all feeling,
as deeply and as aesthetically, the compelling
potency of music with love.
11373997 SSAATTBB Vocal Score . . . . . 11.95
Mother Goose Gems—Stephen Shewan. Using
rhymes from Mother Goose, this major work in
six short movements is similar to a song cycle.
Movements: Hey, Diddle, Diddle!; Starlight, Star
Bright; Old King Cole; Georgie Porgie; Sleep,
Baby, Sleep and Diddle Diddle Dumpling. Varying
in voicing from treble to tenor-bass to mixed
voices, this set is a concert in itself. Playful and
challenging, this work is a unique choice that will
stand out at your next concert.
11342349 Multiple Voicings Choral Score
SATB, SSA and TTB . . . . . . . . . 9.99
The Music of Being—Rene Clausen. An original
text and musical composition that speaks to the
importance and uniqueness of each individual
with beautiful and elegant descriptions of how
our lives intertwine, placed in the context of
what it is like to make music together. A flowing
piano accompaniment or optional chamber
orchestration completes the artistic presentation.
11346661 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.80
Music, When Soft Voices Die—Ronald
Perera. Percy Bysshe Shelley's deeply moving
poem about love and loss is matched with rich,
resonant sonorities in the choral writing and the
accompaniment. A beautiful program piece for
treble voices.
11371034 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.35
t My Heart Be Brave—Marques L.A. Garrett.
Setting inspiring words by James Weldon
Johnson, this work is poignant and stirring,
encouraging singers and listeners to reflect on the
challenges of present times and to move forward
with courage and strength towards a brighter
future. The choral writing beautifully reflects the
powerful text, leading us towards a climactic
reminder that "Tho' thick the battle and tho' fierce
the fight, there is power in making for the right."
An ideal choice for choirs looking to address
issues of social justice in their programming.

highlight of any concert.

t Napadly pisne & Vecerni les Rozvazal
zvonky—Antonin Dvorak/arr. Bonnie Borshay
Sneed. Dvorak's V Prirode ("From Nature") is
a five-song set of Romantic-era part-songs on
Czech texts by Vitezslav Halek. These two songs
are part of that set and can be performed as a set
or as stand-alone songs. The a cappella texture
is like a motet, with secular texts that speak of
different serene settings in nature. There is a
pronunciation guide and translation included for
the Czech lyrics.
11366966 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95

VOCES8 arrangement, with lyrics by Thomas
Campion, is filled with nostalgic jazz harmonies
that conjure dreamy recollections of the
excitement of Christmas that the composer felt
as a child and still holds on to.

O Sacrum Convivium—Giorgio Susana/ed.
Z. Randall Stroope. Edited by Z. Randall

elements from chant. An accessible work for
strong choral ensembles.

t
O Salutaris Hostia—Edward Elgar/arr. Michael
Higgins. In this sensitive choral arrangement of
Nimrod from Elgar's "Enigma Variations," the
Eucharistic hymn O salutaris Hostia, written by
St. Thomas Aquinas for the Feast of Corpus
Christi. The familiar melody passes seamlessly
between the voice parts, and Elgar's lush, rich
soundscapes are perfectly emulated by the
choral textures.
11372375 SSATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.00
The Oak—Becky McGlade. This simple setting
of words by Tennyson reflects a different side to
McGlade's compositional style without sacrificing
any of her trademark characteristics. Written in
mixed meter, the largely homophonic vocal lines
move as one, with clarity and poise in abundance,
creating a bed of sound over which the cello
accompaniment gently glides.
