With solo opportunities and optional instrumentation for strings, synthesizer, bass and drums, this powerful piece is appropriate for any ensemble and any occasion. 11201732 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

ME 2.45 Psalm 148 (from "Hallelu Yah: Three Psalms of Praise") Dan Forrest. Triumphant strains of "Hallelu-Yah" wind and dance through various meters as they build in rhythmic excitement and texture. A contrasting middle section offers quiet lyrical reflection before resuming the exuberance of the opening motive as the piece moves to a joyful conclusion. Standing alone, or as the opening movement of the work "Hallelu Yah: Three Psalms of Praise." this is a work worthy of inclusion in concerts and services. 11416629 SATB divisi . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

An exhilirating accompaniment for piano with optional percussion frames this dance in compound meter that proclaims, "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord" and "Hallelu Yah." Divisi harmonies and lilting choral lines weave through the exciting texture to a dynamic conclusion. As a stand-alone piece, or as the third movement of the ten-minute work "Hallelu Yah: Three Psalms of Praise," this is a glorious addition to your concert or service. 11416631 SATB divisi . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Christina Rossetti's charming poem is set for two- or three-part treble voices of any age. The polyphonic choral writing is simple yet sophisticated, colorful yet clear.

M 2.25 Love Will Rise Again Mark A. Miller. "I won't give up on you. Don't give up on me ... We'll hold each other to the light, and we will see this through." This inspirational anthem of unity, togetherness, and resilience is a strong statement for our times. Written as a memorial to promote inclusion, this choral piece will find a welcome home in a variety of general and sacred settings. 11396789 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.90 Measure Me, Sky! Elaine Hagenberg. Leonora Speyer's inspirational poem encourages singers to take hold of their limitless potential. Ascending vocal lines stretch across a driving accompaniment as if reaching out to grasp the expanse depicted in the lyrics. Building through key changes and motives, it arrives at its final brilliant chord, reflecting "Loveliness, wings for my flight"! A thrilling concert work for more advanced choirs. 11416229 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . MA 2.85 My Song in the Night arr. Elaine Hagenberg. This captivating arrangement highlights the elegant sensitivity of the traditional American folk hymn. As the melody gently drifts through each vocal part, a newly composed refrain gracefully soars over a lush piano accompaniment. Finally, a shimmering tapestry of descending lines brings the piece to a restful and contemplative conclusion. 11416228 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.85 Orion Susan LaBarr. Comparing the constellation Orion to the strength that we can find in times of trial, poet and composer Faith Zimmer's text empowers singers to find their inner worth. The choral setting for treble choirs shimmers with elegant harmonies and singable melodic lines that capture the wonder, mystery, and ultimate triumph of the human spirit. An exceptional choice for winter or general programming. 11415507 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 3.10 Our Birth Is But a Sleep Michael John Trotta. William Wordsworth's text shimmers in this a cappella setting with poignant imagery and gently moving clusters and suspensions in the harmony. "Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting: the Soul that rises with us, our life's Star, hath had elsewhere its setting, and cometh from afar." 11415268 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
