traditional favorites, I Want to Rise and Swing
Low, Sweet Chariot, are woven together in

unison or simple harmony before partnering

I'm Building Me a Home—arr. Anthony
Trecek-King. This lesser-known spiritual has a
theme of resilience and home presented chorally
in a call and response format. With considerable
flexibility for improvisation, inflections and note
bending by the chorus, or even the addition of
an improvised soloist throughout, this authentic
setting presents a wonderful a cappella show
piece for tenor-bass choirs.

its positive message and rhythmic vitality.

piano accompaniment.

dynamic arrangement.

Iam Sol Recedit—Ola Gjeilo. Originally
conceived as a pair, this lovely piece can
stand on its own or be performed with Lux
Beata Trinitas. Lovely harmonic lines that
move along in 7/8 are accompanied by piano
and oboe that bring a lightness and vitality to
the soundscape setting. A beautiful concert
work for mixed choirs!
11395193 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 3.20

Gentle piano gestures underscore a new
melody for the traditional spiritual's words of

protection by this folk-like setting.
11395403 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 2.25
In Paradisum—Jacob Narverud. Colorful
choral sonorities emerge over a steady
"heartbeat" piano part in this contemporary
treatment of the traditional Latin text. Expansive
texture and close harmonies contrast a
rhythmic chant section that quotes a joyful
biblical verse about perseverance. Impressive
in concert or contest.

In Te Speravi (In You I Have Hoped)—
Christi Jones. Crafted in a neoclassical style
for emerging treble or tenor-bass singers to
provide opportunities for range extension,
musical phrasing, and attention to syllabic
stress, this setting provides a wonderful
introduction to counterpoint through the time-
honored Latin text. A perfect festival selection
for your ensemble!

Inscription of Hope—Z. Randall Stroope.
A profoundly moving text, written on a cellar
wall during the rise of Nazi Germany, joins with
original music to create a deeply emotional
expression of hope. With brief narration and
the echo of a Russian folk melody, this is an
important contribution to the concert repertoire
for more discerning choirs!

Irish Blessing (Until We Meet Again)—
Michael John Trotta. "May the roads rise
up to meet you, may the winds be always at
your back... until we meet again." Available a
cappella and accompanied versions, the lovely
choral texture utilizes straightforward rhythms
and close harmonies. Whether chosen for its
moving text, its educational value, or soaring
optional descant, this piece is a wonderful
choice for both worship and concert settings.

John the Revelator (Traditional Gospel Blues)
—arr. Paul Caldwell & Sean Ivory. If you have
the choir and accompanist to handle this, you
must give it a serious look because it is just
phenomenal! In its original form, the song stems
from the Delta Blues tradition, and was recorded
by Blind Willie Johnson and Son House during
the 1920s and 1930s. "O tell me who is that
writin'? John the Revelator...O tell me what is
he writin'? 'bout the Revelation...writin' in the
book of seven seals..." With vocal glissandi,
claps, stomps and stunning dynamics, this is
intense, and well worth the work you put into it!

A Joyful Sanctus—Cristi Cary Miller. Here's an
exciting piece with a compelling melody perfect
for the developing choir. The simple Latin
phrases and syncopated rhythms keep singers
excited and focused while bringing energy and
enthusiasm to every performance. A terrific
selection for a concert or festival opener!

Joyful, Joyful—arr. Roger Emerson. The
best part about the incredibly successful movie
"Sister Act" is the music, and the same is true
of "Sister Act 2!" Beethoven's Ode to Joy has
never sounded like this before, and Roger's
soulful arrangement will give your choir a
chance to "get down" and boogie as never
before. Don't miss it!

Jubilate Deo—Lloyd Larson. Dancing with
syncopation, with melodic lines featuring just a
few Latin words interspersed with an English
text of praise to God, this original work can
energetically open a concert or service. An
exuberant opening section gives way to a more
lyrical section in the middle before returning
once again for an exciting finish.

Jubilate Deo—Peter Anglea. This superb
setting of the traditional Latin text from Psalm
100 fairly dances off the page in joy! Singable,
natural-sounding mixed meter, a memorable
melodic line, and a buoyant feel throughout
make this one of the most appealing and
musically satisfying works you will hear!
