Sleep—Eric Whitacre. This expressive, lush
choral work by Eric Whitacre combines an

Song of Light—Marianne Forman. The
melodic artistry is clear in this bright, youthful
setting of joyful and optimistic words, rejoicing
at the beauty of the world around us. Clear
melodic statements eventually give way to

by young singers, with brief opportunities for
three-part harmony.
11514060 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.50

Stand Together—Jim Papoulis. From Jim
Papoulis' Sounds of a Better World series,
this original piece should be performed with an
Irish flair that evokes a distant longing and yet
is very hopeful in the present. The beginning
of the song is gentle and soothing; gradually,
the energy starts to increase, leading up to
the refrain, "If we stand together, we will sing
forever of the dreams growing in our hearts..."
