Sunflower
Jacob Narverud.
William Blake's thought-provoking text is laced with hope in
this thoughtfully crafted work for mixed chorus with solo cello
accompaniment. The cello represents the sunflower and symbolizes
humans bound to earth but pining for immortality. This stunning
setting brims with text painting, delicious dissonance, and yearning
suspended harmonies. The cello part is included in the octavo.

This Sky Falls
Jocelyn Hagen.
This is a ballad of the groove of flight achieved, basking in the
freedom of a glorious, sustained glide through the sky and the way the
magnificent vista alights within our bodies and under our skin.

To Sit and Dream
Rosephanye Powell.
"To sit and dream ... all you who are dreamers, too. Help me make
our world anew. I reach out my hands to you." These transformative
words penned by Langston Hughes beckon us to reach toward the
dreams of a better world where peace, equality, and justice reign. Set
with a lush jazz-influenced harmonic palette, the ethereal and dreamy
quality makes this an interesting and musically sensitive concert work
for mixed or treble choirs.

The Turn Off Your Phone Song
Adam Podd & Matt Podd (and Pachelbel).
Skip the droll opening announcement about cell phones and sing this
instead! Based on Pachelbel's Canon - which, face it, everyone loves -
this piece will make a lovely concert opener that also serves a valuable
(and comedic) purpose. The original lyrics can be adapted, as well
as the timing and audience involvement. It's easily learned and just
downright hilarious. Don't miss it!

Tuttarana
Reena Esmail.
From the Italian word tutti, meaning all or everyone, and the
Hindustani (Northern Indian) term tarana, a musical form that allows
solo singers to display vocal agility, this original work brings both
together to create a unique experience for choirs. With mixed meter, a
fast tempo, and quickly moving rhythmic phonetic syllables similar to
scat, it is a challenging work that will be well worth the effort.

Two American Folk Songs

Sea Fever
(from "Five Sea Songs")
Daniel Brinsmead.
The first of a set of five sea songs, this exciting original work speaks
of a sailor being drawn to the sea like a calling. The colorful imagery
of John Masefield's poem comes to life with the help of a dramatic
piano accompaniment that brings the flavor of the sea. Cued note
options offer flexibility, making this work appropriate for a variety of
ages and levels.

Shadow River
Elaine Hagenberg.
This energetic piece for treble voices sweeps listeners on a beautiful
journey into the rapids of Emily Pauline Johnson's poem. Bold vocal
entrances cascade into bright harmonies as the piano creates an
undercurrent of lively folk rhythms. As the river slows, the music
floats into an elegant, reflective section, allowing your choir to display
emotional range and musical sensitivity.

Shalom
Dan Forrest.
This tender and comforting work "passes the peace" as its simple yet
elegant melody washes over the listener, gently unfolding its text with
increasing texture: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you,
not as the world gives; do not be afraid." The Hebrew word "shalom"
forms the refrains, and whispers of the word "peace" further paint the
spirit and promise of the text. With piano and optional violin, this piece
is equally at home in worship or concert settings.

Siyahamba
arr. Victor C. Johnson.
A stellar setting of the well-known South African folk song for
developing singers with logical part-writing, stylistic rhythms, and an
energized accompaniment! The optional percussion parts for shaker,
small drum, and djembe will make it even more fun to learn and
perform.

Spark of Light
Andrew Steffen.
This modern and angular piece has that dramatic sound that makes
younger singers feel significant musically. The pulsating piano
accompaniment enhances the varied vocal lines set to lyrics from
a compelling text. Sure to be a favorite at any concert or festival
performance!

Stars
Kyle Pederson.
Lush harmonic textures are the framework for this beautiful,
ethereal piece for mixed choirs. Cluster chords and effectively used
dissonances help to evoke the vastness and mystery of space while
capturing the human desire for the the intimacy of connection. Simply
gorgeous!
