Hildegard of Bingen's Ave Generosa text uses a
hauntingly joyful tonality, paying homage to the
mysterious story of Mary. A beautiful middle section

moving moments holds true to the composer's
style, while the harmonic structure and vocal

Ave Maria—Giulio Caccini/arr. Patrick Liebergen.
This haunting melody from the Italian Renaissance
has been recorded most recently by Charlotte
Church and Andrea Bocelli. Patrick Liebergen's
setting features straightforward vocal lines, a
supportive piano accompaniment, and an optional
flute part that is never overstated, but lets the
enchanting melody and harmonies speak for
themselves. Expressive and beautiful at every turn,
this is a glorious addition to sacred choral literature!

Ave Maria—Franz Biebl. This breathtaking 20th-
century work has been made famous by international
performances of the San Francisco-based ensemble
Chanticleer. Conceived in the style of the alternatum
plainsong, the composition is available for choirs in
four forms: SATB with a trio of soloists; SAATTBB
with a tenor soloist and a bass soloist; SSAA; and
the original TTBB voicing. Extraordinary!

Awake, My Soul, and Sing!—Judith Herrington.
This energetic and celebratory piece opens in a 7/8
that absolutely dances and graciously returns for a
joyous conclusion after the middle section poetically
expresses the beauty of creation. The SATB voicing

festival piece!

Benedicamus Domino—Victor C. Johnson.
Majestic and exuberant, this original concert work

theme. In the contrasting middle, a chant-like
"Resonet in laudibus" softens and slows before

Bound for the Promised Land—arr. Rollo
Dilworth. The traditional spiritual gets a

accompaniment. Gospel harmonies and
articulation, an a cappella section, and a layered
bridge really highlight the choral lines and make this
a fantastic selection to program.
11397409 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.30
Cantate Canon—Donald Moore. Here's a
delightful little canon that's easy to learn and fun
to sing! The contrasting center section sets off the
canonic ends, while the optional flute adds to the

Cantate Domino—Mark Hayes. Pure energy from
start to finish, this dynamic original incorporates
both Latin and English lyrics, which are brought to
life by the toccata-like piano accompaniment. Vocal
layering is a key sectional element and facilitates
teaching. Mixed meter enhances text declamation,
and driving syncopations propel it towards a
dramatic ending.

singable melodic lines and a logical ABA-Coda
form make this original work by Nancy Hill
Cobb a perfect choice for any two-part choir. A
pronunciation guide for the Latin is written in
the vocal parts, and performance notes are also
included. The melodies have no difficult leaps
or accidentals, which simplifies teaching, sight-
reading and memorization. Educationally, musically
and compositionally solid. An excellent choice.

Cantate Hodie!—Mary Lynn Lightfoot. A very

Cantique de Jean Racine—Gabriel Faure/
ed. Herbert Zipper. Probably Faure's best-known
and most frequently performed work next to his
Requiem. The lovely melodic lines are over triplet
figures in the accompaniment, which can be done
on piano, harp, or with a small orchestra.
201335 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.25
Caritas Abundat—Michael John Trotta. This
work is an energetic reimagining of timeless text
and tune from the 12th-century poet, composer,
and philosopher Hildegard of Bingen. The marriage
of the Caritas Abunda chant with a text taken
from Liber Divinorum Operum (The Book of Divine
Works) creates an entirely new work that expresses
themes of empowerment, especially the power of
belonging to a group united for a purpose greater
than oneself.

Come By Here—arr. Kyle Pederson. This
sensitive setting of the spiritual KUM BAH YAH is
not to be missed. In one spot the piano plays a
guided improvisation over the choir singing neutral
syllables. In another there is the option to sing
unaccompanied. An emotional high point occurs
when the sections each sing out their situations,
"longing, falling, hiding," then answer together,
"You are here." This work hits every high mark in
terms of vocal writing, a skillful accompaniment,
and a beautiful effect.

Cornerstone—Shawn Kirchner. The composer
pulls out all the stops on this gospel piece. The
piano part soars; the tenor soloist dramatically rises
above the choir. Long a favorite of SATB choirs,
tenor-bass choirs now have their chance to enjoy
this one.

been adapted by Tim Sarsany.

Cum Sancto Spiritu—Jose Mauricio Nunes
Garcia/ed. Marques L.A. Garrett and Alec
Schumacker. This piece from Missa Abreviada,
CPM 112, has been edited for choir with solo
quartet and piano accompaniment. Beginning
slowly, the piece moves into a spirited fugal setting
of the traditional Latin Cum Sancto Spiritu.
