Lift Every Voice and Sing—John Rosamond
Johnson/arr. Jarrett Johnson & Alvin Chea, ed.
Michael Geiger. Stellar a cappella harmonies
shine in this song also known as the Black
national anthem. James Weldon Johnson's text
is highlighted in this modern arrangement for solo
and divisi choir with the jazz and R&B influence
that you'd expect from Take 6, of whom Chea is
a member. This original arrangement went viral on
YouTube and was nominated for a Grammy - it has
now been transcribed so that choirs everywhere
can enjoy singing this fantastic setting.

Lift Every Voice and Sing—John Rosamund
Johnson/arr. Heather Sorenson. This popular song,

collaborated in an effort that highlights the
cooperation of black and white composers working

quest for diversity and equality.

consummate arrangement of this Sydney Carter
classic! In his music, John perfectly balances the
suspenseful sweep and full range of emotions that

like, and at other times it is very dark, gloomy, and
dramatic. Beautifully orchestrated, this Shaker
melody takes on a new character that is vivid,
colorful, and accessible to every choir.

Lux Aurumque—Eric Whitacre. Upon reading
Edward Esch's poem Light and Gold, composer Eric
Whitacre was immediately struck by its genuine,
elegant simplicity. He asked the celebrated
American poet Charles Anthony Silvestri to translate
it into Latin for this seminal work for mixed choir
a cappella. A simple approach was essential to
the success of the work, and Whitacre waited
patiently for the tight harmonies to shimmer and
glow, weaving a rich choral tapestry of light and
the soft singing of angels for the newborn child. A
Christmas text, but the effect is timeless.
