Life—Jacob Narverud. The joyful, cascading
introduction begins from a unison note, setting the
tone for this setting of the famous Teasdale poem.
Like a heartbeat, the rhythmic call and response
between treble and tenor-bass is steady,
wondrous, and full of musical interest, in true
Narverud style. A must-sing for SATB ensembles
of all sizes!

Measure Me, Sky!—Elaine Hagenberg.
Leonora Speyer's inspirational poem
encourages singers to take hold of their limitless
potential. Ascending vocal lines stretch across

for my flight"! A thrilling concert work for more

Never Let Go—Rob Dietz. Conceived during
the 2020 COVID pandemic, this responsive work
explores perseverance in the face of self-doubt
alongside a wish to help others by reflecting
the light they bring into the world, giving it a
timeless quality. Marrying both traditional and
contemporary a cappella choral techniques in a
mid-tempo inspirational ballad with some simple
body percussion, this rhythmic work will be well
worth the challenge.

No Man Has Seen His Face—Margaret
Bonds/ed. John Michael Cooper. Along with
Touch the Hem of His Garment, 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 is typical of Bonds' lifelong
involvement with church choirs, offering high-
quality music that is also accessible and useful.
Bonds' music is largely diatonic, with plentiful
major-seventh chords that reflect the influence of
popular song of the 1960s.

the earth.

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 choir 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.

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."

O. Fax. Written by a former director of the School

Week, or a special find for your next concert.

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

earnest, haunting setting of the familiar Latin

seamless interplay between the voices and
accompaniment. An outstanding piece for a mixed
choir of any size, it also includes a beautiful part
for optional cello. In a sacred setting, this piece
would be useful for Lent or Good Friday.

Prairie Lullaby (Home on the Range)—

song Home on the Range has been reimagined

and accessible, this tender ballad will be a lovely
addition to any program.
