SECULAR CONCERT
Stars—Eriks Esenvalds. This stunning a cappella
work for divisi chorus and six water-tuned
glasses utilizes a text by Sara Teasdale. Widely
performed by festival and collegiate choirs, and
recorded by VOCES8, this beautiful Baltic piece
is representative of the modern choral harmonic
style with cluster cadences and effectively placed
dissonance throughout.

Stars I Shall Find—Victor C. Johnson. "There
will be rest, and sure stars shining over the
rooftops crowned with snow, a reign of rest,
serene forgetting, the music of stillness holy and
low." This masterful setting of Sara Teasdale's
picturesque poem sparkles with wonderful musical
imagery! Soaring melodic lines, an artfully crafted
accompaniment, contrasting dynamics, and warm,
colorful harmonies create a magical effect. This is
an extraordinary choice for performances all year!

Storm—James M. DesJardins. A creative depiction
of the frenetic energy of a storm, this piece utilizes
body percussion and drums to mimic the sounds

The Storm—Dan Davison. This dramatic original
depicts the plight of a small vessel in the Bering
Sea, far from port and in grave danger from a
storm. The sailors' only chance of survival is for
their loved ones on shore to pray.

Suliko—Brent Wells. Perhaps the most well-known
folk song from the country of Georgia, the poem
speaks of lost loved ones who can still be found
in "the rose's bloom, the nightingale's song, and
the star's shining light." Lovely vocal writing with a
beautiful and supportive piano accompaniment.

Sure on This Shining Night—Morten Lauridsen.
"Sure on this shining night of starmade shadows
round, kindness must watch for me this side the
ground..." In this third movement of his song cycle
Nocturnes, Morten Lauridsen's flowing music
captures all of the beauty and wonder of James
Agee's poem. This is a superb composition for
better choirs!

Sure on This Shining Night—Samuel Barber.
This lyric gem is a cornerstone of 20th century
choral composition and, because of its accessibility,
is an exceptional work to introduce young singers to
Barber's distinct style. A distinguished choral work.

Sweet and Low—Andy Brooke. This lullaby
setting of a tender poem by Tennyson is full of
sweet and recurring melodies that rock gently
in 6/8 time. Very childlike, but with nice musical
depth, the vocal lines are well supported by a
twinkling piano part and combine together to create
a feeling of warmth and tranquility.

This beautiful setting of Ralph Waldo Emerson's
famous text celebrates the universal presence of
song, which can be found in places of beauty but
also darkness. With soaring melodies and a flowing
supportive accompaniment, this piece will appeal
to choirs of all ages with its standard SATB voicing
as well as a flexible voicing that can be used as a
unison piece, or for two-part treble or tenor-bass
choirs. Lovely!

selection has a message of peace and justice.
Stated as a gentle prayer based on Psalm 85:10,

concert piece that will melt your audience's hearts.
11396098 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.75
There Is Hope in Me—Jim Papoulis. Kindergartners
cut to the essence of music when they asked
the composer to write "Simplicity, beauty, love,
and music" as the message they want to convey
to the world. Here is a poignant song for your
youngest singers!
11396518 Unison . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . E 2.30
There Is Sweet Music Here—Greg Gilpin. Your
choir will sound magnificent when they sing this
superb setting of the famous text by Alfred, Lord
Tennyson. "There is sweet music here that softer
falls than petals from blown roses on the grass, or
night dews on still waters..." With very modest
vocal demands, this is perfect for the young choir,
but mature choirs will also appreciate its musicality
and depth.

There Was a Time—Elaine Hagenberg. William
Wordsworth's reflection of a time gone by
acknowledges past heartaches while creating a
dream world where beautiful memories reign.
As the vocal lines rise and fall to trace a distant
rainbow, an ethereal piano accompaniment adds its
own voice glistening above. Then together they soar
to new heights to "find strength in what remains
behind." An absolutely stunning statement for
mixed choirs!

and promise, and this handsome setting is superbly
crafted by noted composer Frank Ticheli. Tasteful
harmonic suspensions and rich choral textures

There Will Come Soft Rains—Matt Podd. Setting
the text by poet Sara Teasdale, blurred textures and
fresh harmonies enhance the profound beauty in
Teasdale's poignant depiction of humankind's
relative smallness. One piece in two sections, this

reflective celebrating the welcome return of spring.

There Will Come Soft Rains—Patrick Vu. The
texts of Sara Teasdale tend to draw the very best
out of composers, and that is certainly the case with
this piece. Scored with optional soprano solo, the
choral writing is harmonically rich and the piano
accompaniment stands on its own. Consider this
piece for an advanced high school treble choir,
university ensemble, or community chorus.

These Things Shall Never Die—Mark Burrows.
"The pure, the bright, the beautiful ... the striving

arrangement ends in a thrilling, full-voiced finale.

and school ensembles will be enriched by this

This Is Who We Are—Mark Burrows. "When we
reach out to shine and share our light, we show the
world that, together, we can do beautiful things.
This is who we are!" This positive text would make a
great theme song for choirs of all ages. The powerful
setting features soloists, compelling harmonies that
build in drama, and a djembe part to give it the
modern world music feel. Effective and important!

This Time—Ana Egge & Dick Connette/arr. Adam
Podd. "When in the course of human events, a more
perfect union makes most perfect sense. In the land
of the free, oh say can you see, then we will have
justice and peace..." With themes of social justice,
change, hope, and action, this choral adaptation of
Ana Egge's song works well for Martin Luther King
Jr. Day or year-round. All proceeds from the sale of
this arrangement will benefit Western States Center,
a nonprofit organization that works nationwide to
strengthen inclusive democracy so all people can
live, love, worship, and work free from fear.

Thunder Drums—Roger Emerson. "Street"
bucket drumming has become a popular music
classroom activity and is appealing because of its
reliance on found materials, the overabundance
of plastic, and its general coolness factor. This
dynamic original pairs bucket drums with choir,
seamlessly blending the two disciplines into a rock
anthem with style. Creative and original!
