excellent vehicle for teaching tone and musical
phrasing to young voices.

October Twilight—Casper Christensen.
Serving as a reminder to be grateful, the
soaring piano part conjures up images of

melody brings with it a reflective melancholy.
A nice selection for younger groups.

Oh, Think of Me—Elaine Hagenberg. The
simple beauty of a sunrise, a summer breeze,

loved one. Oh, Think of Me was inspired by
a poem by Frances Anne Kemble to honor

With a beautiful, emotive piano part, soaring
melodies and reflective moments, your singers
and audience will find heartache and then
resolution and peace in both the music and the

piece of music you won't want to miss.

Omnia Sol (Let Your Heart Be Staid)—
Z. Randall Stroope. Omnia sol temperat,
"the sun warms everything," comes from a
verse of Latin found in Carmina Burana. The
composer's English text speaks to the human
need to anchor words of love and commitment
in the hearts of those who have been
pillars along life's way. This is an important
contribution to choral literature!

One Song—David L. Brunner. The beautiful
sentiment by an unknown poet is perfect
for young singers and the hope they bring
to life. The composer has set this text in an
equally beautiful and simple way that will allow

independence. "One life can make a difference,

Opening—Bob Chilcott. An upbeat setting
of words by Charles Bennett celebrating the
arrival of spring, this selection features changing
meters, a compelling verse-refrain structure,
and catchy melodies. A darker middle section
mirrors the text's reflection on winter's snow and
silence before the music opens out into a final,
joyful statement of the verse and refrain as the
first signs of spring appear.

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
