SECULAR CONCERT
Set Me As a Seal—Rene Clausen. Quiet and
relatively short in duration, this a cappella work is
pensive and wonderfully expressive. Often selected
for performance in contests and festivals, it has
earned its reputation as a 20th century choral classic.

Set Me as a Seal—Michael John Trotta. Elegant
simplicity is the hallmark of this shimmering setting
of a favorite text: "Set me as a seal upon your heart
... for love is as strong as death." Straightforward
rhythms, careful management of vocal ranges, and
a judicious use of close cluster harmonies put this
work well within the reach of many choirs. A perfect
choice for choirs looking to establish a more mature
sound and musical sensitivity. Alternate voicings
render this piece accessible as a solo or duet.

Shall I Compare Thee?—Kara Stacy Bedwell.
Shakespeare's well-known text expresses the
incredible worth of those we love, especially
after they are gone. Lush harmonies and striking
rhythms are contrasted with moments of powerful
simplicity and reflection, creating an approachable
challenge for any mixed choir.

Shalom—Dan Forrest. This tender and comforting
work "passes the peace" as its simple yet elegant
melody washes over the listener, gently unfolding
its text with increasing texture: "Peace I leave with
you, my peace I give to you, not as the world gives;
do not be afraid." The Hebrew word "shalom" forms
the refrains, and whispers of the word "peace"
further paint the spirit and promise of the text. With
piano and optional violin, this piece is equally at
home in worship or concert settings.

She Is Evening—John Parker & Vicki Tucker
Courtney. This simple, elegant setting of a text
of youthful love and admiration is laden with
opportunities for musical expressiveness. Your
young voices will soar on the beautiful melody! "She
is evening by the sea; the falling sun, her gentle
sighs; her smile, the coolness of the air; her eyes,
the sweetness of the skies..."

She Sings ...—Amy Feldman Bernon. The haunting
yet whimsical quality of this piece, almost folk-like in
nature, is truly refreshing! The lyrics center around a
child who loves to sing during the day while playing,
and at night "cries for those who have never loved
and for those who never sing." These words will stir
the emotions of all who hear them, and the lovely,
flowing music really lets them shine!

She Wakes the Dawn—Vicki Tucker Courtney.
An original art song for developing tenor-bass
ensemble, this lyrical work describes the image

for waking the dawn each morning. Carefully

wonderfully off one other with echoes and
sequences make this a successful programming
option for your next concert or festival.

Show Us How to Love—Mark A. Miller. A
compelling new piece from the talented duo of
Mark Miller and Lindy Thompson. Thompson's
earnest text compels communities of faith to
respond to hatred and injustice with a singular
prayer: "Show us how to love." Mark Miller's music
is a powerful and poignant complement to the text,
willing this prayer into action. In addition to its use
in sacred spaces, this piece is an excellent choice
for ecumenical, secular, and school venues.

Sigh No More, Ladies—Ruth Morris Gray. Here
is a spirited setting of Shakespeare's flirtatious text
from "Much Ado About Nothing." Also a fabulous
choice for smaller ensembles, the piece includes a
playful polyphonic chorus of "Hey, nonny, nonny-no"
and a rhythmic accompaniment that underscores
the ladies' cry, "Men were deceivers ever; To one
thing constant never. Sigh no more, ladies."

Sing Gently—Eric Whitacre. Created in response
to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, this piece
was performed by more than 17,000 singers from
around the world in Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir 6.
The soft texture ebbs and flows in beautifully crafted
phrases that set the simple text designed to give
some small measure of comfort to those who need
it. Perhaps it might suggest a way of living with one
another that is compassionate, gentle, and kind.

Sing, My Child—Sarah Quartel. This joyful
text celebrates the beauty found all around us in

as the text evolves into a call for strength despite
the troubles that may come. Commissioned for a
massed choir of over 700 singers, this piece is well
suited for combined choir projects or as a rousing
and meaningful concert closer.

Sing Out, My Soul!—Marques L.A. Garrett.
William Henry Davies' text is given a driving,
rhythmic setting for mixed or treble choirs that
encourages singer and listener alike to "sing out!"
their songs of joy. The contrasting middle section is
undergirded with rhythmic energy from the piano
accompaniment while allowing for the choral lines
to explore more contemplative lyrical phrasing
before a return to the joyful texture of the beginning.
A wonderful opening selection!
