CONCERT WORKS
Tarantella (Jubilate Agno)—Z. Randall
Stroope. The tarantella, meaning "spider dance,"
is a popular Italian dance with origins in the
eleventh century from the villages of Tanto and
Tarentum ("little spider"). Portions of Christopher
Smart's Jubilate Agno text are also used. The
convergence of the medieval tarantella with the
writings of a brilliant poet who bordered on the
absurd, along with the infusion of random rhyming
words by the composer, makes a dramatic
synthesis of words to accompany the highly
energized, challenging music with string quartet
or optional piano.

Telescope—Krishan Oberoi. Mirroring in the
musical texture what poet Kate Wakeling has
created in the composition of her poem, the
music revolves around a fixed pitch that appears
as an ostinato on the syllable "O." Expressing
the wonders of the telescope that can reveal the
mysteries of the universe, the a cappella setting
grows in harmonic texture and complexity to build
the character of the work. Modern and inventive!

They Cry Peace—Murphy C. Williams/arr.
George Lynn. The words are simple - "They will
cry peace where there is no peace" - but the
setting of the music is rhythmic and dynamic. The
repetitions make sense as the words move on to
"joy" and "love," and you realize it sounds like a
gospel preacher's sermon in song.

Three Shakespeare Songs—John Rutter.
The shades of Finzi and Vaughan Williams
are strongly present in these three delightful
unaccompanied choral settings, and yet the style
and execution are wholly Rutter's own. O Mistress
Mine is a jaunty jazz waltz, Be Not Afeard casts a
dreamy spell with dusky sonorities and magical
harmonies, and Sigh No More, Ladies brings the
set to a cheerfully melodious and high-spirited
conclusion.

Touch the Hem of His Garment—Margaret
Bonds/ed. John Michael Cooper. Along with No
Man Has Seen His Face, this set of two pieces
was composed in 1968 as both sacred choral
and solo art songs, setting texts written by her
friend and frequent collaborator Janice Lovoos.
This work for soprano solo and choir is typical of
Bonds' lifelong involvement with church choirs,
offering high-quality music that is also accessible
and useful. The text speaks of a profoundly simple
faith, and the musical setting creates an effective
emotional response with meaningful high points.

Traum durch die Dammerung Dream
Through the Twilight, Op. 29 No. 1—
Richard Strauss. This advanced arrangement
for 16 voices takes the Strauss original to new
heights. For more advanced ensembles, this will
be worth the extra effort.

Truth—Rollo Dilworth. With a powerful text
by Gwendolyn Brooks, this composition moves
seamlessly through relative keys with lots of room
for expression. Including rubato and creative word
painting, this will be a highlight for more advanced
ensembles.

Turning—arr. Joni Jensen. This traditional
Irish folk song has been beautifully arranged for
advanced treble ensembles with violin, flute, and
bodhran. The music is energetic and full of drive,
singing of better days ahead.

Ubi Caritas—Dan Forrest. The well-loved
ancient chant is transported into the 21st century
in this masterful setting, slowly unfolding layer
after layer of beauty, and gradually adding vocal
polyphony over an ethereal piano accompaniment.
Optional chamber orchestra or full orchestra adds
additional texture and color. Suitable for worship
or concert.

Unconditional Love (A Cantata of
Gratitude and Remembrance)—Howard
Goodall. This heartfelt cantata of gratitude and
remembrance is a poignant reflection on the
COVID-19 crisis. Scored for soprano solo, SATB
choir, piano, organ, and brass ensemble, it is a
seven-movement work that commemorates the
selflessness and togetherness felt by communities
worldwide, each of which offers its thanksgiving in
a different way. Unifying the movements is a call
to hope and to moving forward in a rebuilt world.

Union of Love—Stephen M. Murphy. Here is
a tender love song from the "Song of Solomon"
that was premiered at Carnegie Hall under the
direction of Dr. Jason Max Ferdinand. Part of the
National Concerts series the piece begins with
a soprano solo that quickly flows into the choir's
entrance. Most love songs finish in delicate
quietness but the final cadence of this motet is a
strong passionate statement.

Until Forever Fades Away—Frank Ticheli.
The lyrics for this work are by composer Frank
Tichelli. In the opening liner notes he tells us that
"the poem for the work is a meditation on time's
ceaseless flow, elusiveness, ravages, and gifts."
Scored for mixed divisi chorus with piano or
strings, "the musical setting divides roughly into
three parts, moving from a sense of mystery and
wonder, to chaos, and finally folding into prayer
before fading away to complete silence." Try it
with your advanced ensemble.

Wait Til I Put On My Crown—arr. Stacey V.
Gibbs. The upbeat text in this spiritual arrangement
tosses the devil away and celebrates praying,
singing, and going to heaven! Commissioned for
the 2022 ACDA Southern Region Honor Choir,
this winning spiritual with an occasional divisi is
suitable for church and school.

The Water Is Wide—arr. Jesse Beulke. The
familiar folk song is revamped so that it feels like
a brand-new piece. It is both old and new all at
once, and the harmonies are full and lush with the
imagery of a slow and steady river.

We Will Do Miracles—Dominick DiOrio.
Commissioned for the Cincinnati Children's
Choir, We Will Do Miracles is a piece brimming
with rhythmic excitement! The text is adapted
from Walt Whitman's Song of the Open Road
and is perfect for any concert occasion of joy
and celebration. From the riveting dynamics to its
strong lyrical message, this piece is a wonderful
choice for any treble choir.

When Music Sounds—Gwyneth Walker.
Based on the poem Music by Walter de la Mare,
the music and the text express the transportive
power of music and nature. The signature musical
motif returns throughout the accompaniment,
emphasizing the message that our imagination
may be delicate, but it endures.

When Science Triumphs—David Chase.
Commissioned to honor three individuals
dedicated to fighting diseases that have plagued
our world during the 20th and 21st centuries,
this exciting modern concert work celebrates the
accomplishments of the scientific community.
Part of the five-song May You Heal Project, these
titles offer music of comfort, peace, renewal,
and self-awareness as part of our pandemic
recovery. The cycle in its entirety: When Science
Triumphs; Dona Nobis Pacem; May You Heal;

Who Shall Separate Us?—James MacMillan.
This beautifully moving work was specially
commissioned by the Dean and Chapter of
Westminster for performance at the Funeral
Service of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at
Westminster Abbey. The text from St Paul's Letter
to the Romans perfectly reflects the late Queen's
steadfast Christian faith, and the work expresses
hope, triumph, and rejoicing. While fitting for
memorial and remembrance services in general,
it will also be suitable at Easter and for general
use. As an alternative to 'Allelulia' a verse from
the Book of Revelation is provided for use during
penitential seasons.

Wild Swans (from "The Lost Birds")—
Christopher Tin. From the Grammy-nominated
work The Lost Birds, this setting of a poem by
Edna St. Vincent Millay ends the first half of
The Lost Birds. Told from the point of view of
the poet, it starts with the sound of bird cries:
gradually approaching from a distance, until
they pass overhead, triggering feelings of
longing. After an instrumental interlude, and the
narrator's impassioned declaration of freedom,
the song ends as it started—with the cries of wild
swans receding into the distance, foreshadowing
their demise.

The World, This Wall, and Me—Michael
Bussewitz-Quarm. This selection is about a
transgender woman's dream in which she feels
that no matter her struggles, everything will be
okay. With inspirational lyrics, "I will not let fear
become my beacon," this piece is a fitting reminder
to everyone that it is okay to take time to heal.
"Now I can see you in all your wondrous colors!"
