Eatnemen Vuelie—Frode Fjellheim/arr. Emily
Crocker. The opening musical number from the
Disney animated feature "Frozen," this song is
inspired by indigenous Saami and Norwegian
culture, a combination of Saami yoiking and
the Danish Christmas hymn Dejlig er jorden, or
Fairest Lord Jesus, by B.S. Ingemann. Yoik is a
very old vocal tradition among the Saami people
of Scandinavia and Russia, characterized by short
melodic phrases that repeat again and again,
with small variations. With English, German and
Norwegian versions of the text, synthesizer,
percussion and optional male yoik.

to your high school or middle school repertoire.

Elijah Rock—arr. Rollo Dilworth. Building on
the heritage of the great arrangements of Jester
Hairston and Moses Hogan, Rollo Dilworth has
created his own unique approach to the traditional
spiritual. Through layering of motivic material and

blues, and gospel music combine to great success
in this accompanied version of Elijah's dramatic
ascension into heaven.

an opener in a concert or festival setting. Featuring
a Latin text, the opening fanfare-like section leads

Exsultate—Mark Burrows. Singers in developing
choirs will love the excitement of this vibrant,
rhythmically driven concert or contest title. The
more lyrical middle section nicely contrasts the
excitement of the syncopated opening and closing
sections. The Latin text presents teaching moments
for creating tall vowels and crisp consonants.

Exsultate in Seven—Andy Beck. Organized

exuberant concert selection, made even more so
with the addition of the optional trumpet obbligato
and timpani part.

Exsultate! Jubilate!—Kyle Pederson. This
unique setting pairs the iconic Latin text with a
new, original English text which responds to the
question: Why do we rejoice and shout our praises
to God? The music captures the energy, rhythm,
and exuberance inherent in the phrases "exsultate
Deo" and "jubilate Deo," but also reflects the quiet
joys found in gratitude for the daily gifts of breath
and light. The piano accompaniment is rhythmic
and lively.

A Festive Alleluia—Mary Lynn Lightfoot.
Captivating syncopations, mixed meters and
rhythmic vitality spark this refreshing work.
This joyous piece in a minor mode incorporates
traditional Latin and English texts and just overflows
with an infectious energy. Vocal lines are sensibly
conceived, mixed meters are very logical, and
there's an optional bass part in the three-part
mixed edition. This is quality literature for choirs of

Fly Away Medley—arr. Mark Hayes. A real gospel
tapestry! The arranging genius of Mark Hayes shines
in this stellar medley of gospel favorites, including
Albert Brumley's I'll Fly Away, recently featured
in the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?," We'll
Understand It Better By and By; When the Roll Is
Called Up Yonder; On Jordan's Stormy Banks and
When the Saints Go Marching In. Arranged in a
"down-home" country style with fresh, playful choral
harmonies, this will be as much fun to sing as it is
to listen to. The SATB and SAB editions open with
a stylized vocal trio feature that really gets things
going. The terrific orchestration hits the mark and

Follow the Drinking Gourd—arr. David Hill.
Arranged for developing treble or tenor-bass choirs,
this spiritual provides opportunities to explore colors
in the vocal sound while singing in a minor key. The
mournful quality, sometimes hushed, sometimes
hopeful, is enhanced by an independent piano
accompaniment that supports without duplicating
the voices.

For the Beauty of the Earth—John Rutter.
John Rutter's engaging melody over a flowing
accompaniment is equally beautiful in either the
SATB or SA treatment. Full instrumentation includes
strings, winds, harp (playable on keyboard), and
drums. Reduced orchestration includes flute,
oboe, harp, and organ. Instrumental lines soar
as beautifully as the vocal melody. A perennial
favorite, this is a tasteful blend of text and musical
expression. Vintage John Rutter.
