Sea Fever (from "Five Sea Songs")—Daniel
Brinsmead. The first of a set of five sea songs,
this exciting original work speaks of a sailor
being drawn to the sea like a calling. The colorful
imagery of John Masefield's poem comes to life
with the help of a dramatic piano accompaniment
that brings the flavor of the sea. Cued note options
offer flexibility, making this work appropriate for a
variety of ages and levels.

Seeds—Mark Burrows. Emerging voices shine in
this heartfelt anthem of purpose which brings a
message of empowerment and optimism: "In
our hands we hold the seeds to sow what our
world needs. If you want a world of peace, be
peace." A tender piano accompaniment and a
beautiful part for optional cello provide a wonderful
foundation for treble singers. A lovely selection for
community, school, and church children's choirs.

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.

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!

Time—Jennifer Lucy Cook. The line between
time's reality and its invention is blurry. This
modern concert work borrows heavily on
contemporary a cappella harmonies and
techniques to create an engaging texture that
highlights the rapidly fleeting nature of time. Time
insists upon eluding us, we can only notice the fact
that time has been winking at us all along. This
music is a way of winking back.

dreams of a better world where peace, equality,
and justice reign. Set with a lush jazz-influenced

makes this an interesting and musically sensitive
concert work for mixed or treble choirs.

lovely concert opener that also serves a valuable
(and comedic) purpose. The original lyrics can
be adapted, as well as the timing and audience
involvement. It's easily learned and just downright
hilarious. Don't miss it!

things, taking chances, and living life to the fullest.
Ideal for younger singers stretching their wings
both musically and ideologically, this fresh concert

driven lines and accessible vocal writing. You can

final stanza. Consider this for graduations and
final concerts.

Tuttarana—Reena Esmail. From the Italian word
tutti, meaning all or everyone, and the Hindustani
(northern Indian) term tarana, a musical form
that allows solo singers to display vocal agility,
this original work brings both together to create a
unique experience for choirs. With mixed meter, a
fast tempo, and quickly moving rhythmic phonetic
syllables similar to scat, it is a challenging work
that will be well worth the effort.

style and background of the work while enjoying
