Home—Eric Whitacre. "You feel like home." A
beautiful glimpse into the moment that poet Charles
Anthony Silvestri knew that he fell in love with his
wife, Julie, this plaintive piece expresses joy tinged
with sadness. This is the third movement of "The
Sacred Veil," a twelve-movement work written with
Silvestri that chronicles his journey through life,
love, cancer, and ultimately, the death of his wife.

Home by Another Road—Mark A. Miller. With
a singable, spirit-filled melody, everyone will be

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 welcome, outreach, witness, or community in
Christ. Accessible for choirs of all sizes and abilities,
don't miss this memorable selection.

stunning arrangement, as written for The Mormon
Tabernacle Choir, includes a penny whistle on the

accessible setting is a beautiful 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.

How Can I Keep from Singing?—Robert Lowry/
arr. Sarah Quartel. This is a lively reimagining of the
19th-century American folk hymn that opens with a
solo verse then proceeds with a soaring top melody
supported by the rhythmic vocal accompaniment
of the lower voices, with occasional alternation
between 4/4 and 7/8 meter. Together, these
elements capture both the gentle hope and the
profound joy of the text.

testament to the power of singing!

The Hurricane—Paul David Thomas. This setting
of a text by William Cullen Bryant really conveys
the excitement of a hurricane! Knee slaps, finger
snaps, and blowing sounds effectively imitate the
rain and wind while the piano contributes just the
right percussive effects to complete the illusion of
the storm. "Lord of the winds! I feel thee nigh, I
know thy breath in the burning sky!"

I Am Not Yours—Cheridy Saunders. This piece
creates opportunities for success for young tenors
and basses at all stages of the changing voice.
The poetry of Sara Teasdale provides a theme
of beauty, longing, and the quest for love that is
easily accessible to all ages. The optional a cappella
section provides an opportunity for students to
be challenged and can be used as an incentive
to explore the beauty and demands of quality
a cappella singing.

for bringing the words to life in his music. This is a
marvelous work which will be in great demand by
mixed choirs everywhere!

flowing piano accompaniment frames the languid
choral lines that envelop Sara Teasdale's poem of

purpose, I am power." The steady cadence of this
a cappella piece reflects a quiet march that is
reinforced with percussion from the djembe and
optional heartbeat chest pats. The empowering text

change by speaking out against injustice. This
piece will encourage meaningful dialog among
your singers and will also be a very effective
performance statement.

text expressing gratitude, an appreciation for

connections to loved ones will last forever. The
gentle musical setting is lovely and easily learned.
It's a perfect way to close a year with a humble
acknowledgement of the impact that others have
had in our lives. Help your students rehearse with

I Am the Wind—Elaine Hagenberg. Poet Zoe
Atkins likens her uncertainty to the wavering
winds and shifting shadows and contrasts it with
the unchanging stars and secure land. This text
is mirrored musically with an opening section of
a cappella underscoring that blossoms into a thick
choral texture with voice leading in each part that is
skillfully interwoven to create lush harmonies along
with a wonderfully artistic piano accompaniment.
11107830 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.85

mid-tempo ballad that grows in the bridge, with
gentle syncopation. Includes a QR code to a video
demonstrating sign language for the song.

I Choose Love—Mark A. Miller. In the midst of
pain, of war, of brokenness... we choose love. We
choose community. What better way to share this
message than through powerful song... and that's
exactly what you'll find here. This soulful anthem,
written in response to the tragic events that occurred
at Emmanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in
Charleston, South Carolina in 2015, is a testament
to the power of forgiveness and peace. Appropriate
for general use or as a memorial, this beautifully
written piece begins with a solo, then rises to a full
choral statement that returns to a solo for the close.

I Dream a World—Andre Thomas. "I dream a
world where man no other man will scorn, where
love will bless the earth and peace its paths
adorn..." The introspective and contemplative
lyrics of the great African-American poet Langston
Hughes grace this marvelous, expressive work.
Dedicated to the victims of the September 11,
2001 terrorist attacks, this will be a gripping
program feature.
