t Alleluia—Henrik Dahlgren. The single word
"alleluia" is used as the basis for harmonic
exploration as the slowly moving pulsed a
cappella harmonies build and diminish. Feature
a soprano soloist or the section on an ethereal
descant that elevates the texture to sublime
heights.

t April Rain Song—Robert A. Harris. This
atmospheric setting of the celebrated poem by
the Harlem Renaissance writer Langston Hughes
captures the sense of comfort and security while
listening to rainfall. The ebb and flow, careful
phrasing, and rich harmony make this an ideal
ensemble piece.
11372377 SSATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.00
t As the Hart—Becky McGlade. One of McGlade's
longer works, this piece begins simply before
expanding into a more complex section with
fluctuating time signatures and shifting tonalities.
Ideal for advanced choirs, this is a fitting setting
of Psalm 42.

At Sea—Dudley Buck/ed. David P. DeVenney.
From the American Romantic Choral Series
comes this beautiful choral piece. Overlooked for
too many years, Dr. David P. DeVenney's careful
editing and research brings it to the performance
hall again. Dudley Buck taught at the New
England Conservatory and wrote numerous
sacred anthems. This descriptive, secular song
from his oratorio with a text by Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow, carries a stalwart conviction for the
sailor to stay the course.. A great concert piece
for TTBB chorus.

Dt Ave Maria—Marshall Webb. This classic text
is set with original music in a beautiful and
contemporary way. This will be a rewarding
challenge for tenor-bass choirs that can be used
in a variety of holiday or concert settings.
11348187 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.15
D Ave Maris Stella—Mark Thomas. Inspired by
the simple verse structure of the traditional Latin
prayer text, the melody line glides over the gentle
wavelike motion of the piano accompaniment.
The violin obbligato adds another lyrical layer
to this contemplative piece. A lovely concert or
service feature.
10297752 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.30
t The Beautiful Land of Nod—Robert Convery.
The iconic poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox is set
here in a lilting and gentle composition that
may be performed by an ensemble or by a full
choir. Peaceful, serene, and comforting, this was
commissioned by Philadelphia-based chamber
choir The Crossing and conductor Donald Nally.
11366878 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.35
Benedictus—Philip W. J. Stopford. The
seventh movement from Stopford's Missa Deus
Nobiscum, the Benedictus is reflective and
"blessed," for he who comes in the name of the
Lord is God with us.

Birdsong—Eric Nelson. This selection beautifully
sets a text by the poet Rumi. The accompaniment
is reminiscent of bird calls while the choir soars
above with beautifully written lines. This is part
of the National Collegiate Choral Organization
Choral Series.
11369591 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.85
t Bugle Song—J.C.D. Parker/ed. David P.
Devenney. A cleverly written piece with a text by
Alfred Lord Tennyson, the music at times reflects
a madrigal with romantic era harmonies. The
sound of the bugle is described in a rhythmic
motif that is echoed and then stretched as it
diminishes dynamically in a lovely chromatic
descent. An effective concert piece from the
American Romantic Choral Series.

Call Across—Kyle Pederson. This eight-minute
journey around the world will take you from the
kulokk calls of Norway to the bira ceremonies
of Zimbabwe. This powerful and inspirational
work with lyrics by Brian Newhouse in English
and Shona reaches across cultures, ages, and
geography. Premiered by Conspirare at the
2021 ACDA National Conference, this selection
includes solos and optional handpan with a
modern world beat and gives each section a
chance to shine. It was the winner of the 2021
ACDA Genesis Prize, which was created as a
response to the difficult times facing our world,
and the choral arts in particular, and rewards
pieces that speak to our time with voices of
comfort, hope, peace, and justice.
11347809 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.25
t Cantate Domino—Timothy Brown. A short,
upbeat setting of the Latin from Psalms 9, 95, and
97, this selection opens with a triple-meter dance-
like section that features optional clapping. This is
juxtaposed with a darker, more chromatic middle
section that has an optional verse in French
before reprising the joyful opening material.

t Carrickfergus—arr. Joshua Pacey. This
traditional Irish ballad arranged for VOCES8
will make your audiences wish they were in
Carrickfergus, if only to experience the longing
felt in this lovely arrangement. A beautiful soprano
solo offers the opportunity to explore the stylistic
freedom in this genre, while the divisi choral a
cappella texture remains solid on harmonies.

Chant de ceux qui s'en vont sur mer—
Camille Saint-Saens/arr. Denis Rouger. This
work was composed as an art song and has
been adapted for choir without losing any of the
qualities of the original. There is a flexibility in
form and expression, and the piano is very much
one of the characters in which you can hear the
storm raging.
11346926 SSATB divisi. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4.95
Charm—Kerry Andrew. This modern setting of
an Anglo-Saxon charm features an incantation-
like whispered list of potion ingredients combined
with its pop-inspired vocal lines. The unusual,
dramatic, and layered textures also include
whistling, modal touches, and some very funky
riffs to be performed with freedom, energy, and
imagination!
11323801 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.35
t Come Away, Death—Ralph Vaughan Williams.
With lyrics from Twelfth Night by William
Shakespeare, this a cappella setting musically
embodies the heartbreak reflected in the text.
11368310 SSATB SSATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.05
t Day-Break—J.C.D. Parker/ed. David P.
Devenney. From the American Romantic Choral
Series, this song announces the day, rolling in
from the sea and advancing into the farms and
towns. Although the text claims "not yet to be
quiet," the music carries the true message and
settles us into a gentle calm. Tasteful writing to
share in concert.
11342371 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
Do Not Go, My Love—Richard Hageman/arr.
Stephen Rotz. Lush, lovely, and harmonically
rich, this choral setting of a solo art song
delivers a vocal classic to treble choirs. Subtle
chromatic voice leading brings a sense of
artistry and maturity, and the substantial piano
accompaniment builds the texture into an
expressive selection that is certain to enhance
any concert or festival program.

t
Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep—
Stephen Chatman. A moving setting of this
gripping and emotional text. In this setting,
the composer captures the solemnity of the
text throughout the thoughtful choral writing,
comforting those who are left to grieve.
