CONCERT WORKS
Reach Toward What's Next—Katie Houts.
Written to celebrate the unique beauty of unison
treble voices, this contemporary piece highlights
the importance of friendship and community.
Flexible text options make it an excellent
selection for all types of treble choirs and a
great choice for a school concert, community
event, or worship service. A dynamic piano
accompaniment and a vivid poetic text help
voices soar as they sing, "Won't you come
with me? Be all we can be? Sharing joy and
welcome, hope and courage, shining light that
might encourage all God's children all around us
to reach for what's next." The memorable melody
resonates especially well with developing voices,
and an optional descant helps bring the piece to
an inspiring close.

The Singing Bowl—Jeff Newberry. An
opening rhythmic chant echoes the text "Begin the
song exactly where you are," gradually growing

Guite's text about becoming an open singing
bowl that resounds with timelessness and rises
with richness out of emptiness. Expressive tone
painting, rhythmic excitement, and a variety of
musical elements make this an exciting modern
concert work for treble choirs.

design, and the singers dramatically deliver
the message.

emotive and expressive writing.

its own. Consider this piece for an advanced

opening announcement about cell phones and
