CONCERT WORKS
Hope, Peace, Joy: A Trilogy—Mark Burrows.
Here's a set of three songs that can be performed
separately or more effectively all together. Each
song is based on a round that features one of
the voice parts - they are linked thematically but
contrast musically with one another. Employing
body percussion and distinctive melodies, they
are unique and fun concert repertoire choices for
treble choirs. Includes The Heartbeat of Hope;
The Breath of Peace and The Dance of Joy.

of your outstanding solo singers. "Together, we

voice that sings! Together we will sing!"

with Young Voices Toronto, this song calls for
us to stand up, speak up, and stand for justice.

I'm Not Lost—Michael Bussewitz-Quarm.
Native American women are more likely to be
abducted, assaulted, and murdered than any
other population group, and the perpetrators
are rarely charged or convicted. Each verse of
this selection cries out for missing mothers,
daughters, sisters, and Two Spirit (transgender)
loved ones using Native words and phrases from
across North America: Abenaki, Odawa/Ojibwe,
Lakota, and Navajo/Dine. The performance of this
piece is more than the singing of a song. It is an
expression of longing and grief for those whose
voices have been silenced.

IPharadisi—arr. Brad Richmond. This traditional
South African song celebrates life and the
paradise that is to come. An upbeat a cappella

along with a percussion part for djembe.

Journey On—Derrick Fox. This sweet and
simple original song, with a lilting melody and
folk-like harmonies, illustrates the impact of the
relationships that we build throughout our lives.
Optimistic about the future, the text speaks
of friendships, journeying together, and then
journeying apart. It's a terrific choice for graduation
or moving-up ceremonies, or for saying goodbye
to a teacher or friend.

Justitiae Domine—Michael John Trotta.
Beautiful a cappella harmonies on a Latin text
from Psalm 19 are a wonderful way to develop

contrasting homophonic middle section. Lyrical
and expressive, this piece is suitable for concerts,
festivals, and services.

the kan-swar grace note technique of Hindustani
classical music.

sustained tones, all supported by a vibrant and fun
piano accompaniment.

Orion—Susan LaBarr. Comparing the
constellation Orion to the strength that we can

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.
