Elijah Rock—arr. Jarrett Roseborough. Elijah's
message and its many transitions recalls the
journey of life and its many transitions. This
exciting, rhythmic arrangement is a welcome

Elijah!—arr. Stacey V. Gibbs. This is amazing!
A tremendously fun and interesting setting
of the traditional spiritual Elijah Rock, this
arrangement for double choir goes well beyond
eight parts in some places. Challenging and
virtuosic, with exciting rhythmic interplay
between the voices, this requires a strong and
developed ensemble. The result is well worth
the work!

Esto Les Digo—Kinley Lange. This a cappella
setting of Matthew 18 in Spanish has attracted
a lot of attention, and has already seen
considerable festival activity. The English
translation of the text is also shown: "Where
two or three are gathered in My name, there
will I be also."

Ev'rything's Gonna Be Alright—arr. Rollo
Dilworth. This traditional spiritual carries a
universal message of optimism and hope for a
brighter tomorrow. Repetition of text and melody
along with growing dynamics create a powerfully
dramatic effect throughout the piece. Foot taps,
beginning in the anthem's middle section,
simulate the feeling of a march that intensifies
the spirit of determination and resolve.

Even When He Is Silent—Kim Andre Arnesen.
Commissioned by the St. Olaf Festival in
Trondheim, Norway, Even When He Is Silent
masterfully expresses the sentiment of the text
- hope in times of despair. Beautifully melodic,
with rich harmonic texture, this is a stunning
work for better a cappella choirs! "I believe in
the sun even when it is not shining..."

more advanced ensembles.
11397631 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 2.00
Every Time I Feel the Spirit—arr. Derric
Johnson. The well-known traditional spiritual
is arranged with a modern touch in a stirring
setting for a cappella choir. The melody is
shared between the upper and lower voices,
and there is nice harmonic interplay that brings
interest to every voice part. An attention-
grabbing setting for concert or festival!
11510878 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 2.75
Exsultate in Seven—Andy Beck. Organized
in 3+2+2, this rhythmically charged opener is
designed to make this meter feel approachable
and intuitive for developing choirs. A small
number of familiar Latin words and some English
text combine with the dance-like melodies to
create an exuberant concert selection, made
even more so with the addition of the optional
trumpet obbligato and timpani part.

Exsultate! Jubilate!—Kyle Pederson. This
unique setting pairs the iconic Latin text with
a new, original English text which responds
to the question: Why do we rejoice and shout
our praises to God? The music captures the
energy, rhythm, and exuberance inherent
in the phrases "exsultate Deo" and "jubilate
Deo," but also reflects the quiet joys found
in gratitude for the daily gifts of breath and
light. The piano accompaniment is rhythmic
and lively.

Exultate Justi—Dan Davison. Utilizing a
classical style of composition, this piece just
might transport you back to the time of Mozart!
Full of educational opportunities, the musical
style and interpretation is authentic sounding,
and the Latin text, generous doubling, and
well-supported choral parts make this an
easily learned concert or festival choice that
is sure to impress.

Exultate Pacifica—Randall Johnson.
Combining melodic and rhythmic fragments
from island cultures throughout the Pacific, this
exciting work for tenor-bass choirs uses a Latin
text and a variety of two-, three- and four-part
harmonic textures throughout. The distinctive
piano accompaniment moves the piece along
with rhythmic intensity - but then exits to give
way to a more lyrical a cappella section in four-
part harmony that features a gentle hymn from
the Solomon Islands.

Ezekiel Saw de Wheel—arr. William L.
Dawson. The classic Dawson version of the
American spiritual is a tour de force for more
experienced choirs. Dawson's interpretation
of the "wheel within a wheel" passage is a
masterful stroke of choral orchestration.

Festival Gloria—Craig Courtney. The
transcendent glory of the traditional Latin text
is treated with great sensitivity and depth in this
superb setting for capable sanctuary, concert
or festival choirs! With sweeping vocal lines
and masterful harmonic layering, this work

of the choir. This enthralling choral opus
will be a centerpiece of concerts or worship
experiences whenever it is performed.

A Festive Alleluia—Mary Lynn Lightfoot.
Captivating syncopations, mixed meters and
rhythmic vitality spark this refreshing work.
This joyous piece in a minor mode incorporates
traditional Latin and English texts and just
overflows with an infectious energy. Vocal
lines are sensibly conceived, mixed meters are
very logical, and there's an optional bass part
in the three-part mixed edition. This is quality
literature for choirs of all ages.

Fly Away Medley—arr. Mark Hayes. A real
gospel tapestry! The arranging genius of
Mark Hayes shines in this stellar medley of
gospel favorites, including Albert Brumley's
I'll Fly Away, recently featured in the movie "O
Brother, Where Art Thou?," We'll Understand
It Better By and By; When the Roll Is Called
Up Yonder; On Jordan's Stormy Banks and
When the Saints Go Marching In. Arranged
in a "down-home" country style with fresh,
playful choral harmonies, this will be as much
fun to sing as it is to listen to. The SATB and
SAB editions open with a stylized vocal trio
feature that really gets things going. The terrific
orchestration hits the mark and will guarantee
a spectacular performance!

Follow the Drinking Gourd—arr. Greg
Gilpin. Recognized for its connection to
the Underground Railroad by signaling the
direction north, this traditional spiritual offers
many teaching moments. This exciting
arrangement is rhythmic and well supported
by the piano accompaniment, and each choral
line has the opportunity to sing the melody as
well as independent harmony lines and stacked
ostinatos that create an exciting texture.
