An uplifting text by Ella Wheeler Wilcox is set to charming music in this wonderful piece with melodic interest in all parts and conservative ranges.

Deeply expressive, an old poem is treated with rich harmonies to become a moving closer for concerts or festivals. Written with an ear to the a cappella glee club tradition, the incorporation of Dvorak's Going Home connects to the hearts of the audience and wraps them in the embrace of the warm sounds of the text: "Where'er you go, wherever you roam, it will brighten your road; lighten your load, if you sing, sing your way home." 10947951 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

This creative original is based on a Walter de la Mare text about answering a knock on your door and finding no one there! With a memorable melody, clever interplay between voices, a frightfully fun accompaniment and optional percussion, this selection will provide all the giggles and goosebumps you need! 11202525 Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.35 11203159 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27.95 Something Told the Wild Geese—Darin Lewis. Rachel Field's poem is set to a simply elegant melody that matches the tone of the text as it expresses the change from fall to winter.

M 2.20 The Soul Behind the Eyes—Jim Papoulis. Born out of a songwriting seminar with middle and high school students, this introspective text taps into the thoughts, fears, and hopes of our young people. The message and spirit of this inspirational song will support young people who are working through struggles of their own. "The soul behind the eyes, fading slowly. The darkness in disguise becomes the light in me." 11338687 SSAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.50 Spes—Mia Makaroff. This joyous unaccompanied work for more advanced treble choirs combines two texts about hope - one in Sami and the other in Latin - to create a work that uplifts both the singer and the audience.

A welcome addition to your concert or service. 11393048 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.25 Stand Together—Jim Papoulis. From Jim Papoulis' Sounds of a Better World series, this original piece should be performed with an Irish flair that evokes a distant longing and yet is very hopeful in the present. The beginning of the song is gentle and soothing; gradually, the energy starts to increase, leading up to the refrain, "If we stand together, we will sing forever of the dreams growing in our hearts..." 10029708 SSAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
