How Can I Keep from Singing?—Robert
Lowry/arr. Sarah Quartel. This is a lively
reimagining of the 19th-century American
folk hymn that opens with a solo verse then
proceeds with a soaring top melody supported
by the rhythmic vocal accompaniment of
the lower voices, with occasional alternation
between 4/4 and 7/8 meter. Together, these
elements capture both the gentle hope and the
profound joy of the text.

How Can I Keep from Singing?—Robert
Lowry/arr. Matt and Adam Podd. In what
has become a viral YouTube virtual choir
sensation, the Podd brothers have carefully
crafted an exceptionally artistic arrangement
of this classic song that has a contemporary
vibe. A flowing piano accompaniment anchors
the setting, and the traditional choral harmonies
float above as they effortlessly shift between
triple and quadruple meter. A stirring testament
to the power of singing!

How Good!—Michael Engelhardt. "How good
and pleasant it is when we dwell together in
unity!" This original contemporary gospel piece
embraces unity, diversity, and the joy of living
together in this world in love. The gospel style
in the choral lines and piano accompaniment
are indicated in the score, along with a lead
soloist who sings over the final chorus after a
stacking gospel bridge that the whole choir will
enjoy singing.

The Hurricane—Paul David Thomas. This
setting of a text by William Cullen Bryant
really conveys the excitement of a hurricane!
Knee slaps, finger snaps, and blowing sounds
effectively imitate the rain and wind while the
piano contributes just the right percussive
effects to complete the illusion of the storm.
"Lord of the winds! I feel thee nigh, I know thy
breath in the burning sky!"

voice. The poetry of Sara Teasdale provides a

choirs. Featuring peaceful, melodic moments
and optional shakers and djembe, its message

the wind and I hear peace; I can hear the word
of a friend and I hear peace; I can hear the
song in my soul, a song to help me feel whole,
and I hear peace. I am peace."

I Am Song—Mark Burrows. This Celtic-
inspired original is a testament to music as a

I Am the Wind—Elaine Hagenberg. Poet Zoe
Atkins likens her uncertainty to the wavering
winds and shifting shadows and contrasts
it with the unchanging stars and secure
land. This text is mirrored musically with an
opening section of a cappella underscoring
that blossoms into a thick choral texture with
voice leading in each part that is skillfully
interwoven to create lush harmonies along with
a wonderfully artistic piano accompaniment.
11107830 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 2.95
I Celebrate Myself—Michael John Trotta.
This unaccompanied piece contrasts a
simple unison motif with quick ostinato in the
lower voices. The homophonic refrain clearly
declaims, "All forces have been steadily
employed to complete and delight me." After
building to a high point with a soaring descant
for soprano, the work recedes in intensity with
a harmonic restatement of the opening motif.
May be performed as part of a collection of four
Whitman settings by the composer.

I Choose Love—Mark A. Miller. In the midst
of pain, of war, of brokenness... we choose
love. We choose community. What better
way to share this message than through
powerful song... and that's exactly what
you'll find here. This soulful anthem, written
in response to the tragic events that occurred
at Emmanuel African Methodist Episcopal
Church in Charleston, South Carolina in 2015,
is a testament to the power of forgiveness and
peace. Appropriate for general use or as a
memorial, this beautifully written piece begins
with a solo, then rises to a full choral statement
that returns to a solo for the close.

I Dream a World—Andre Thomas. "I dream
a world where man no other man will scorn,
where love will bless the earth and peace
its paths adorn..." The introspective and
contemplative lyrics of the great African-
American poet Langston Hughes grace this
marvelous, expressive work. Dedicated to the
victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist
attacks, this will be a gripping program feature.

I Just Keep Groovin'—Jim Papoulis. A
perfect choice for younger choirs, this bluesy,
hip original concert pop selection has a positive
and inspirational text about moving on through
the challenges of life. A large portion of the
setting is unison, and the harmonies, when
they do enter, are engaging, pattern-based,
and very easy to learn and hold.

I Remember—Sarah Quartel. Here is a lyric
beauty for treble or mixed voices, with lovely
legato lines, a gorgeous piano part, and a
picturesque text. "In my song there's a race
through a wild green meadow, the sunshine so
bright in my eyes..." Perfect for graduation or
any other occasion, this is beautifully done!
