Johnson. Triumphant and energetic opening
and closing sections fill this original work with

development. A contrasting middle section
sings "Gaudeamus hodie" with lyrical lines in
smooth choral counterpoint before reprising to
a glorious finish. A wonderful choice to open a
concert, festival, or service!

darkness falls, I can be the light that will lead
you home."

Like a River in My Soul—arr. Tim Osiek. The
river flows steady and calm in this beautiful
arrangement of the traditional spiritual edited
by Dan Forrest. It is impossible to ignore the
underlying intensity which rises and falls as

Dilworth. This arrangement presents the
traditional spiritual with a rhythmic, vibrant
gospel feel. Be sure to consider it for a
performance with combined choirs, as the

Locus Iste—Roger Emerson. Layered melodies
and countermelodies combine for a lovely
concert selection for developing choirs. The
Latin text provides a great way to develop pure
vowel sounds and blend, and the construction
of the polyphonic melodies builds part
independence and confidence.

Moore/ed. Marques L. A. Garrett. This
arrangement of the lesser-known spiritual

to any service or concert and especially
appropriate when wishing Godspeed to
departing members.

repertoire. Texts are in Latin and English.

Love Lifted Me—Greg Gilpin. "When I was
down and out, love lifted me!" There has
perhaps never been a time when love was
needed more than now. This simple message,
wrapped with a solid gospel feel and fun-to-
sing harmonies in the choral lines, will surely
be one that your choir will want to share.

Love Will Find a Way—Rosephanye Powell.
A great new gospel song, this tune is destined

every hardship that can come our way.
Excellent energy, colorful blue notes, and
rocking rhythms are the characteristics that

Lux Aeterna—Ruth Morris Gray. The
traditional Latin "eternal light" text is brought to
life in this a cappella work. With plenty of room
for rubato and dynamic expression, this piece
employs a variety of choral textures with an
approach that is simple yet elegant. Efficient
part-writing achieves occasional dissonance
with minimal divisi, and a descant illuminates
the final moments of this setting.
11503257 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.05
Lux Aeterna—Christi Jones. This easy, lyrical
setting of the well-known Latin text, translated
"Light Eternal," is perfect for young treble
voices. Whether your students are ready to
sing a cappella or with accompaniment, the
choice is yours in this excellent introduction to
singing in Latin.

Lux Aeterna (from "Requiem")—Michael
John Trotta. Incorporating elements of the
ancient and the modern, this stunning a cappella
original presents a lush harmonic palette with
tight cluster harmonies and a statement of the
Requiem chant tune. The peaceful, luminous
quality of the work contrasts beautifully with the
driving and rhythmic Dies Irae, both extracted
from Trotta's larger work "Requiem." A beautiful
choice for concerts and services.
11372324 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 2.90
Lux Aurumque—Eric Whitacre. Upon reading
Edward Esch's poem Light and Gold,
composer Eric Whitacre was immediately
struck by its genuine, elegant simplicity. He
asked the celebrated American poet Charles
Anthony Silvestri to translate it into Latin for
this seminal work for mixed choir a cappella. A
simple approach was essential to the success
of the work, and Whitacre waited patiently
for the tight harmonies to shimmer and glow,
weaving a rich choral tapestry of light and the
soft singing of angels for the newborn child.
A Christmas text, but the effect is timeless.

Lux Beata Trinitas—Ola Gjeilo. The
composer's signature fluid style is on beautiful
display in this Latin concert work for mixed
choir with piano and oboe accompaniment.
Originally designed to be paired with Iam Sol
Recedit, with which it is linked thematically, this
gorgeous work can also stand on its own as a
lovely, lyrical, and musically sensitive piece that
will bring out the best in your choir.

May the Road Rise to Meet You—Victor C.
Johnson. Don't miss this elegant setting of the
traditional Irish blessing! Beautifully melodic

flowing accompaniment combine to make it an
ideal closer for any performance. The optional
oboe obbligato adds warmth.
