The Music of Stillness—Elaine Hagenberg.
Sara Teasdale's poem There Will Be Rest frames
this stunning piece for mixed divisi choirs. Soaring
choral phrases conjure up images of "stars shining,
rooftops covered with snow, crystal peace ... finding
the music of stillness." Following a serene opening,
the piece rises and falls through affecting climaxes
as well as passages of great tranquility, ending with
the same sense of stillness with which it begins.

Farnell has drawn her inspiration for this gospel-
style composition from the work of the late Dr.

text delivers the powerful message: when we
choose love and sing together in community, surely
"peace and love will conquer hate and strife."

My Love Is Always Here—Alexandre Desplat.
This lovely a cappella lullaby doubles as a Nativity
carol that may be programmed for Christmas or at
any time of year. Simple and sincere, traditional
choral writing leads singers through a warm
progression of sonorities that allow room for
expressive word stress. This song can be heard

Hallows, Part 1."

Never One Thing—May Erlewine/arr. Corie Brown.
Treble choirs will appreciate this empowering text
that invites us all to begin the process of reclaiming
and healing those parts of ourselves that are, at
the same time, both vulnerable and powerful. This
music is modern and raw with notated parts for
body percussion and cajon. An opening unison a
cappella section sets up the rhythmic feel of these
in-your-face lyrics and style, and the piano joins
later to provide extra support and texture for the
stacked harmonies. Powerful!

be alright... 'cause I can see a new horizon on a
brand-new day." This gospel-style original piece
can really bring a positive vibe as a closing piece
in your concert or year-end ceremony. A solo voice
becomes a duet before all the singers join in and
grow with layered harmonies and ascending key
changes. Add a drummer or the accompaniment
track to really kick it up a notch!

a sorrow or a tune." The poetry of Eleanor Farjeon
is so evocative, and this setting is perfect for young
voices to sing. A great piece for teaching tone
and musical phrasing. This is a beautiful song for
