Mixolydian Gloria—Remel Derrick. Using the
Mixolydian scale rather than a conventional
major scale, this rhythmically charged original
setting of the Gloria text is written for the
developing tenor-bass choir and expands
into three parts. With the option to sing with
or without the piano accompaniment, it is the
perfect choice for beginning choirs that want to
sound mature and polished!

Music Down in My Soul—arr. Moses Hogan.
Premiered at the World Choral Symposium
in Minneapolis, this gospel praise song was

feature or concert closer. Exuberant!

Music in the Air—arr. Ryan Murphy. "Over my
head I hear music in the air, there must be a
God somewhere." The traditional spiritual is a
mix of hopeful lyrics about the future, despite
our current afflictions. This setting brings an
exciting new life to the traditional melody with
an active piano part that moves the piece from
lyrical to a syncopated gospel feel without
breaking tempo or style. The choral parts
employ traditional harmonies and some divisi
in the final section to create a full-throated
celebration of life.

Music Inspires All (with "Music in the Air")
—Rollo Dilworth. Quoting the spiritual Music
in the Air, this piece features a driving gospel
energy, lush harmonic color, intriguing
counterpoint, and a dynamic piano part. The
text talks about how singing together can
overcome divisions and promote unity, and the
building and layering texture leads to a dramatic
finish that will be a perfect way to end a concert.

The Music of Living—Dan Forrest. This
powerful and inspirational piece with a dynamic
piano accompaniment was composed for
a performance at the 2011 Texas Music
Educators Association Convention. This
exuberant work will challenge your choir, but
it will be worth the work in the end. Optional full
score with violin, horn, timpani, and percussion
is available and while it is scored for TTBB
voices, it can be used with the SATB version.

My King Is Comin' Soon—Kyle Pederson.
This genre-bending piece blends elements of
rock, gospel, spiritual, and the spoken word.
Useful for the Advent season or school concert
anytime, the text invites chorus and listener to
imagine a world of mercy, justice, peace, and
compassion. Commissioned by the Wartburg
Choir and Dr. Lee Nelson, it was premiered at
Christmas at Wartburg in 2019.

My Lord, What a Morning—arr. Victor C.
Johnson. Here's a beloved American spiritual,
sensitively prepared for concert or service use.
The familiar strophic melody and expressive
tempo markings stretch on each phrase and
suggest more motion when the text dictates. A
lovely piano accompaniment does not double
but rather complements the harmonic structure
while remaining supportive.

My Song in the Night—arr. Elaine Hagenberg.
This captivating arrangement highlights the
elegant sensitivity of the traditional American
folk hymn. As the melody gently drifts
through each vocal part, a newly composed
refrain gracefully soars over a lush piano
accompaniment. Finally, a shimmering tapestry
of descending lines brings the piece to a restful
and contemplative conclusion.

My Soul's Been Anchored in the Lord—arr.
Moses Hogan. This traditional spiritual will
really come to life for your choir in this dynamic

the exhilarating call-and-response sections, this
is a work that has long been a festival favorite.

Dilworth and the TTBB version by Peter Eklund.

Nada Te Turbe—Andrew Steffen. With a
16th-century text by St. Teresa of Avila, this
piece has a definite ancient-modern feel.
Layers of chant-like a cappella harmonies
with conservative ranges are augmented
by percussion for conga, shekere, and bass
drum to provide a hypnotic texture. In Spanish
throughout. The percussion parts are available
in the octavo or separately as a free download
from the publisher's website.

A New Jerusalem Arise—Kyle Pederson/
ed. Dan Forrest. This striking adaptation
from scripture foretells a future free from
tears, hatred, and injustice and provides a
vision of a renewed and redeemed earth: "A
New Jerusalem arise, a new creation come
alive, into the dawning after dark, arise!" A
combination of varied musical influences is
skillfully woven together for choir, piano, and
optional instruments including cello, organ,
handbells, and drum as well as optional
congregational involvement (congregational
handout included).

No Color—Stacey V. Gibbs & Shawn
Kirchner. From two very important composers
of our time, the lyrics in this monumental work
challenge ideas of racism and discrimination,
while the music combines jazz and traditional
choral techniques. No Color offers choirs the
chance to declare that no color can come
between us.

Nobody Knows but Jesus—Tim Osiek.
This moving a cappella setting of the well-
known spiritual text offers a moment of tender
reflection in the midst of the world's troubles. A
soulful soloist sets the tone for the piece, and
expressive choral singing and gorgeous part-
writing carry it to the end. A true gem!

Non Nobis, Domine—Rosephanye Powell.
This work is pure magic! Short rhythmic phrases
repeating and building on top of one another,
contrasting sections, a dynamic and rewarding
conclusion. The traditional Latin text makes it
appropriate for sacred or secular performance.

Nox (from "Illuminare")—Elaine Hagenberg.
The dramatic third movement from "Illuminare"
opens with the traditional Kyrie text in a somber,
forebodingly ominous manner before exploding
into a blast of fury as the Latin text turns to night
and darkness. Accented rhythms and mixed
meter contribute to the feeling of chaos, and the
dramatic dynamic range and rhythmic intensity
increase to a glorious conclusion.

choral writing that will enable your choir to sing
with a full tone and exuberant expression.

O Magnum Mysterium—Morten Lauridsen.
An exemplary composition to display the
musicianship of better a cappella choirs, this
choral opus evokes the mystery of the Nativity

and deeply fulfilling, it has become Lauridsen's
most performed work.

O Magnum Mysterium—Tomas Luis de
Victoria/arr. Russell Robinson. Tomas Luis de
Victoria's (1548-1611) Renaissance setting
of the Latin Nativity text is arguably the most
famous setting that choirs have enjoyed as a
standard during the Christmas season or at
any time of year as a concert work. Here, the
SATB version is set in E minor, while the SSA
is set in F minor, both in beautifully engraved
editions that are easy to read, making it more
accessible than ever for today's choirs to enjoy
and appreciate this classic piece.

literature for a cappella choirs.
