Shall We Gather at the River—Robert Lowry/arr.
Daniel J. Hall. This early American hymn, born in a
time of crisis, is still relevant in our times. Opening
with a flowing artistic piano accompaniment which
continues throughout, optional solo lines build and
open up into full harmony in a texture that swirls
and churns before arriving at the final destination.
This powerful arrangement is suitable for church,
school, and community choirs.

Shall We Gather at the River—arr. David Lantz
III. Jazz harmonies and a vocal solo give new
interest and life to the well-loved Robert Lowry folk
hymn. Smooth voice leading means your church or
community choir can focus on nuances of text and
phrasing for meaningful communication that will
resonate deeply with your audience.

Shine on Me—arr. Rollo Dilworth. Once the
gospel swing gets started, it just never lets up in
this powerful selection that is a dynamic musical
statement for today's choirs. Its 9/8 meter coupled
with an expressive, hopeful text is compelling
enough, but the bluesy piano accompaniment and
the generous use of seventh chords make this a
completely irresistible choral feature.

Shut de Do—Randy Stonehill/arr. Greg Gilpin. This
familiar song sounds and feels as if it has always
been a part of the folk song or spiritual genre. In
this a cappella setting, optional percussion can be
utilized to enliven the texture. Equally appropriate
in concert or worship settings, this wonderful
arrangement offers solo opportunities and creative
new melodic material before the final refrain. A
perennial favorite.

Shut de Do—Randy Stonehill/arr. Mark Hayes.
Since its publication in 1984, this energetic work
has remained a popular piece in choral repertoire,
and for good reason. Call and response vocal lines
dance over Latin rhythms which are enhanced

Exuberant and joyful at every chorus, Shut De Do
continues to merit our highest regard as music of
exceptional teaching and learning value.

along the way!"

Sing Alleluia, Clap Your Hands—Sally K.
Albrecht. An impressive statement for treble choirs,
this a cappella concert work features exciting
harmonic textures with handclaps punctuated
throughout. Each part introduces its own
independent melodic line which together culminate
in joyful polyphony. A contrasting center section
provides a different feel before an energized reprise
leads to the brilliant final flourish.

Sing Me to Heaven—Daniel Gawthrop. This
sensitive work is so beautifully ethereal it will take
your breath away. "If you would comfort me, sing
me a lullaby. If you would win my heart, sing me
a love song." Expansive while staying within the
framework of four-part harmony, it is a conductor's
choice for larger choral festivals and a superb
feature for chamber vocal ensembles.

Sing Out Your Joy—Victor C. Johnson. A driving
piano accompaniment sets up the joyous English
text of celebration that begins with a stately
expression of "Cantate Domino!" Mixed meter helps
create energy, which is contrasted with a lyrical
section in minor. This piece will make a wonderful
opening work for your concert.

Schrader. Andrae Crouch has a well deserved

the authentic gospel "soul" style. A slow rocker that

effectively to people everywhere!

exceptional arrangement.

Soon We Will Be Done—arr. Kyle Pederson.
Building on the original text, this adaptation of
the classic spiritual invites the listener to envision
and commit to a better, more just world - a world
of inclusion, radical kindness, compassion, love,
and grace - a world where we have the courage
to champion the inherent dignity and value of all
people, a world where we will be done with all the
ways we deny a person's worth. Spoken word is
incorporated throughout, heightening the intensity of
the performance, and giving a sense of immediacy
to the challenge for the choir and audience to work
together for justice, equity, and wholeness.
11197402 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.85
Soon Ah Will Be Done—arr. William L. Dawson.
Another in the series of authentic African-American
spirituals from the pen of William Dawson, this
remains consistently popular year after year!

Splendor—Elaine Hagenberg. The opening
movement from the larger work "Illuminare" set on
Saint Ambrose's Latin text radiates majestic energy
that heralds the arrival of Light and a joyful "Gloriae"
section. A brief contrasting section of legato singing
brings a peaceful release before returning to the
vibrant momentum present in the opening. A
wonderful work that stands on its own as a strong
statement for mixed choirs.
11397312 SATB divisi . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.85
Spotless Rose—Ola Gjeilo. An extremely joyful and
uplifting setting of this well-loved Christmas text.
Gjeilo has crafted a beautiful melody that seems
as if it was always meant to exist with these lyrics.
Vocally accessible, this will be a good choice for both
schools and churches, along with more advanced
choirs. Can be sung in English or Norwegian.
10746479 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 3.10
Steal Away—arr. Roland Carter. Choirs have
loved and performed Carter's classic a cappella
arrangement of this traditional spiritual throughout
the years. Preserved and now available in a newly
engraved version, it can continue to be enjoyed in
this setting for years to come.
11374083 SATB divisi,
or SSAATTBB . . . . . . . . . . M 2.80
Steal Away—arr. Patrick Dupre Quigley. This
beautiful arrangement marries the traditional
African American spiritual melody of Steal
Away with a quasi-improvisational ostinato
accompaniment over a wonderfully written solo/
group part. Suitable for any performance, this will
be a wonderful addition to your choral library and
a great piece to feature an outstanding soloist or
small group.

Still I Rise—Rosephanye Powell. "Though I have
been wounded; aching heart, full of pain, still I
rise, yes, still I rise..." With its spiritual-like style,
this original choral arrangement with solo speaks
poignantly of the struggles of African-American
women. Commissioned by the ensemble Vox
Femina, it is still attracting a lot of attention.

The Storm Is Passing Over—Charles Albert
Tindley/arr. Barbara W. Baker. This is a lot of fun!
Even choirs with limited experience singing gospel
music will be able to perform the syncopated
and heavily accented vocal parts with ease. The
final repeated chorus features stunning dynamic
contrasts, hand claps and a dramatic ritard before
the final ending. A very strong choice!

and excitement and the result is a truly rousing
arrangement that will bring the house down. Perfect
as a spirited closing number.
