SECULAR CONCERT
The Fiddler—Johannes Brahms/arr. Stan Pethel.
With lyrics from a German folk song and music by
Brahms, this delightful concert piece has all the
right ingredients! The form is strophic and the text
is in English throughout, making it easier to learn,
and all voice parts receive the melody. You'll want
to add the optional violin part to really bring out the
character of the music.

for young choirs!

Fly, Fly, Fly—Kelsey Hohnstein-Reinhart. Christina
Rossetti's poetry sings beautifully in this original
concert piece for treble choirs. The melody takes
a modern approach with open harmonies that
build into independence. A supportive piano motive
brings another voice into the story that captures the
flight of a bird across the sea at summer's end.

throughout that brings awareness to the text.
11371557 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 3.10
Foreign Lands—Mary Donnelly & George L.O.
Strid. Based on two children's poems by Robert
Louis Stevenson from A Child's Garden of Verses,

a child who is discovering the world around them.
Ample unison lines and carefully crafted harmonies

especially effective for beginning and intermediate
treble choirs. A wonderful selection for both church
and school settings.

The Gift to Sing—Marianne Forman. Receiving
an honorable mention for the 2020 King's Singers
New Music Prize, this sparkling arrangement
sets James Weldon Johnson's text about singing
through adversity: "...and if the way grows darker
still, shadowed by Sorrow's somber wing, with glad
defiance in my throat, I pierce the darkness with a
note, and sing ... no nights are dark, no days are
long, while in my heart there swells a song, and I
can sing." Deeply encouraging, and suitable for a
variety of performance situations.

Weldon Johnson was an American writer and civil

swells to a triumphant statement before gliding
back again to a quiet ending.

advanced choirs who embrace the challenge.

delightful poem by Robert Frost in an equally
delightful setting by Randall Thompson makes an
excellent selection for more advanced treble choirs.

Give Me Your Stars to Hold—Kate Crellin.
Though short in length, this delicate original work
presents opportunities for stunningly expressive
musical moments. With closer harmonies weaving
in and out and flowing passages paired with
