Sing Gently—Eric Whitacre. Created in response
to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, this piece
was performed by more than 17,000 singers from
around the world in Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir
6. The soft texture ebbs and flows in beautifully
crafted phrases that set the simple text designed

Something Told the Wild Geese—Darin
Lewis. Rachel Field's poem is set to a simply
elegant melody that matches the tone of the text
as it expresses the change from fall to winter.
Ample unison lines are lyrical and expressive,
giving time to work on blend and musicality. The
melodic lines later combine as partners to create
meaningful harmony that is easily learned. Lovely!

it can be performed with a single choir, this
lighthearted original composition also provides
options to unite choirs of all varieties in harmony
and was written specifically with multiple choirs of
varying age ranges in mind. Lilting with harmonic
and rhythmic variations, it's a great way to
bring people together for a massed choir finale
presentation.

ACDA National Conference and employs strong
harmonies, body percussion, and a soulful feel
that is very effective.

another, this original selection was written by the

with hope and optimism. The cued notes make
it flexible for three- or four-part choirs.

Therefore I Will Hope—Alex Gartner. With
a text from Jan Richardson, this piece was
commissioned in memory of the lives of school
children lost to gun violence. Dramatic musical
motives weave with lines of text that create a
sense of longing and release, yet with an eventual
focus of hope.
11345224 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.20
Dt Threads of Joy—Dale Trumbore. This song
of happiness and celebration of the human
experience is set in a minor key. The harmonic
language acknowledges that we can't have joy
without recognizing its opposite. The undertones
point out that this is not just an exultation of
happiness but also suggests how we emerge
from darkness and pain back into light. The
music captures this duality in ever-shifting
prismatic harmonies.
11337862 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
Dt Ubi Caritas—Michael John Trotta. The beloved
Latin text is set in an elegantly simple texture with

sound that surrounds the optional solo chant line,
which may be sung by a soloist or performed by a
C instrument.

the song, who step the dance, who dare to try...."

which opens with an energetic declaration and

are the ones!"

piece reminds us that we stand on the shoulders
of those who have gone before us as we are
invited to celebrate the beautiful diversity we see,
take pride in who we are, and work for justice.

Fukuda. "We'll rise above, seize the highest
dream. We'll lift our heads up high, move the sky,

Now choirs of all kinds can have fun singing this
re-enlivened tune in this a cappella version that
keeps those open harmonies right at the forefront.

appealing choice.

HD The Word Was God—Rosephanye Powell.
t What an impact this august work will have on
both choir and listeners! Compositionally, this is
an excellent piece using impressive techniques
that are truly captivating. The rhythmic structure
develops from the superb interplay between the
voices, and the layering of sound upon sound
creates a musical tapestry. Written in an almost
spiritual style, but definitely not a spiritual, this will
make a stunning choice for larger or festival choirs!

Wynken, Blynken and Nod—Blake Richter
& Ryan Main. Eugene Fields' poem highlights
the fantastic dreamlike excursion of Wynken,
Blynken, and Nod as they sail off in a wooden
shoe to fish the night seas with nets of silver and
gold. It feels like a traditional sea shanty, but
this original composition has plenty of musical
excitement to offer young singers.
