Seek Justice—Mark Sirett. Throughout history,
prophets, visionaries, poets, and peacemakers
have cried out for justice in our world. Justice
must be actively pursued, and this music flows
and moves as a metaphor of pursuit.

Set Me as a Seal—Margaret Burk. Written

passionate text from the Song of Solomon is
captured beautifully in the music.

Set Me As a Seal—Rene Clausen. Quiet and
relatively short in duration, this a cappella work
is pensive and wonderfully expressive. Often
selected for performance in contests and
festivals, it has earned its reputation as a 20th

Set Me as a Seal—Michael John Trotta.
Elegant simplicity is the hallmark of this
shimmering setting of a favorite text: "Set me
as a seal upon your heart ... for love is as
strong as death." Straightforward rhythms,
careful management of vocal ranges, and a
judicious use of close cluster harmonies put
this work well within the reach of many choirs.
A perfect choice for choirs looking to establish
a more mature sound and musical sensitivity.
Alternate voicings render this piece accessible
as a solo or duet.

Shadow River—Elaine Hagenberg. This
energetic piece for treble voices sweeps
listeners on a beautiful journey into the rapids
of Emily Pauline Johnson's poem. Bold vocal
entrances cascade into bright harmonies as
the piano creates an undercurrent of lively folk
rhythms. As the river slows, the music floats
into an elegant, reflective section, allowing
your choir to display emotional range and
musical sensitivity.

Shalom—Dan Forrest. This tender and
comforting work "passes the peace" as its
simple yet elegant melody washes over the
listener, gently unfolding its text with increasing
texture: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I
give to you, not as the world gives; do not be
afraid." The Hebrew word "shalom" forms the
refrains, and whispers of the word "peace"
further paint the spirit and promise of the text.
With piano and optional violin, this piece is
equally at home in worship or concert settings.

She Sings ...—Amy Feldman Bernon. The
haunting yet whimsical quality of this piece,
almost folk-like in nature, is truly refreshing!
The lyrics center around a child who loves to
sing during the day while playing, and at night
"cries for those who have never loved and for
those who never sing." These words will stir the
emotions of all who hear them, and the lovely,
flowing music really lets them shine!

Sing Gently—Eric Whitacre. Created in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown,
this piece was performed by more than 17,000
singers from around the world in Eric Whitacre's
Virtual Choir 6. The soft texture ebbs and flows
in beautifully crafted phrases that set the simple
text designed to give some small measure of

compassionate, gentle, and kind.

text celebrates the beauty found all around
us in everyday life. Characterized by tight

like B section as the text evolves into a call for
strength despite the troubles that may come.

in our world. Featuring solo lines all the way

similar, just with simplified choral harmonies
in the two-part version. A beautifully produced
accompaniment track is also available.

Sing Out, My Soul!—Marques L. A. Garrett.
William Henry Davies' text is given a driving,
rhythmic setting that encourages singer and
listener alike to "sing out!" their songs of joy.
The contrasting middle section is undergirded
with rhythmic energy from the piano
accompaniment while allowing for the choral
lines to explore more contemplative lyrical
phrasing before a return to the joyful texture of
the beginning. A wonderful opening selection!

Something of sunlight and bloom..." An uplifting

music in this wonderful piece with melodic
interest in all parts and conservative ranges.

has long been a favorite with festival choirs in
