Earworm—Mark Burrows. Who doesn't love an
earworm? A song that just gets in there and sticks!
This humorous text is set with a catchy melody (of
course!) and creative harmony parts that are just
so fun to sing. An optional descant adds another
enjoyable layer, and the parts are well supported by
a solid piano accompaniment.

diction so the punny lyrics may be fully appreciated

Hall of the Mountain King, your students will love

Kookaburra—Marion Sinclair/arr. Audrey Snyder.
The kookaburra is a terrestrial tree kingfisher native
to Australia, and this charming nursery rhyme
song details its distinctive and humorous call
which sounds like laughing. The simple melody
is presented first in unison, then canon, then a
descant texture, and finally, harmonized by a lower
ostinato - all harmony techniques that are easy to
learn for young developing singers.

Listen to the Rain—Stephen L. Lawrence. This
imaginative piece will captivate your audience with
the sounds and sensations of a thunderstorm. The
whispered opening and lyrical melody set the mood
for the moment when the audience becomes part
of the performance. One or more singers, the Rain
Leaders, lead in creating a remarkably realistic-
sounding thunderstorm (using body percussion).
Performance notes and ideas are included, along
with an opening narration.

The Mermaid—arr. Jack Zaino. Here is a
traditional sea ballad that is equal parts authentic
and enjoyable. Dating back to the mid-1700s,
this rollicking nautical adventure tells the story
of a ship's captain who spots a mermaid in the
distance. A chorus of sailors, the captain, the chef,
and a parrot take turns expressing their woe - often
in a comedic way. Singers will quickly be hooked,
so directors can sink into the educational merits to
uncover many hidden treasures.
