Can We Sing the Darkness to Light?—
Kyle Pederson. The text of this work invites the
listener to imagine a world without weapons of war
where the human experience is defined through
the lens of mercy and compassion. The music is
peaceful and very appropriate to the text, with little
divisi in the choral parts and a supportive piano
accompaniment. Optional full score and parts for
violin and cello accompaniment are available from
the publisher.

Earth Song—Frank Ticheli. A cry for peace in a
world torn by war, this poignant a cappella setting
of an original text is filled with striking dynamic
contrasts. "Sing, Be, Live, See... This dark stormy
hour, the wind, it stirs. The scorched earth cries
out in vain... But music and singing have been my
refuge, and music and singing shall be my light..."

Eneza Upendo (Spread Love)—Jim Papoulis.
"Eneza upendo uendako, umoja ni upendo"
translates to "Spread love everywhere you go, unity
is love". This piece celebrates the hopeful sentiments
of unity and love through both Swahili and English
lyrics. Djembe and soft metal percussion add flair to
this already upbeat piece. Choirs can get in on the
fun with some light body percussion.

Give Us Hope (20th Anniversary Edition)—
Jim Papoulis/arr. Francisco Nunez. "Give us
hope and we'll show you the way." This popular
piece is celebrating its 20th anniversary with this
edition. Identical in each voicing to the original
editions - but now, more of the royalties are going
to the Foundation for Small Voices. A great song
supporting an important cause!

With a singable, spirit-filled melody, everyone will be
singing this heart song long after worship has ended.
Exuding confidence, warmth, and joy, it's a shining
example of what it means to pave a better path for
those who come after us. The anthem is a clear call
to visionary work and will be a fitting complement
to themes of peace and justice, equality and

miss this memorable selection.

Hope, Peace, Joy: A Trilogy—Mark Burrows.
Here's a set of three songs that can be performed
separately or more effectively all together. Each
song is based on a round that features one of
the voice parts - they are linked thematically but
contrast musically with one another. Employing body
percussion and distinctive melodies, they are unique
and fun concert repertoire choices for treble choirs.
Includes The Heartbeat of Hope; The Breath of
Peace and The Dance of Joy.

try, we can make a difference, you and I!" Inspired
by Martin Luther King Jr.'s stirring words, this
original concert selection will bring hope and action
back into the hearts of all who hear it. Simple 6/8
melodies and rhythmic patterns that repeat often
make this approachable and easy to teach - and
inspiring to perform.

wonder and a sense of innocence, this beautiful
original work offers a wish for the world to find

May I Be Filled—Mark Miller. Based on a Buddhist
blessing, this song is a prayer for kindness, peace,
well-being, and joy for all creation. The prayer moves
outward like ripples on a pond with successive
verses: "May I," "May you," and "May we." Opening
with a solo or unison stanza, it leads through
successive verses with gradually thickening voices
and ever-flowing accompaniment. The audience is
invited to join on the third verse.

On the Faces of the World (Song of Peace)—
Mark Burrows. Beginning softly with a rainstick,
a soloist or small group, and simple background
harmonies, this fun-to-sing piece picks up the
pace with a rhythmic, nicely harmonized section
accompanied by shakers, hand drums, and
djembe. A clever layered section calling for "peace"
in nine different languages provides contrast and
breadth. Wonderful!

Peace—Jamey Ray. Cascading layers of peaceful

leading before an eventual return to the soft cascade
on the word "peace."

Reach Toward What's Next—Katie Houts.
Written to celebrate the unique beauty of unison
treble voices, this contemporary piece highlights the
importance of friendship and community. Flexible text
options make it an excellent selection for all types of
treble choirs and a great choice for a school concert,
community event, or worship service. A dynamic
piano accompaniment and a vivid poetic text help
voices soar as they sing, "Won't you come with me?
Be all we can be? Sharing joy and welcome, hope
and courage, shining light that might encourage all
God's children all around us to reach for what's next."
The memorable melody resonates especially well with
developing voices, and an optional descant helps
bring the piece to an inspiring close.
