A mix of spoken word and choral singing, the fourth movement of "A Vision Unfolding" is a call to act justly and live in unity. Optional snare drum and trumpet further heighten the plea in Shanelle Gabriel's text to "let your light out" and "live your love out." 11537976 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 3.15 11537977 Instrumental Parts Trumpet, Snare Drum . . . . . . . 10.00 Measure Me, Sky! Jonathan Reid. Floating melodic lines and resonant harmonies combine, lending an ethereal quality to this artistic piece that allows the imagination to soar. Leonora Speyer's evocative text explores our relationship to the universe, and the musical setting provides delicious cluster harmonies supported by undulating triplets in the piano accompaniment to create a sense of motion and mystique. 11314185 SATB divisi . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 2.30 11539967 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 2.75 My Good Lord's a-Done-a Been Here arr.

A. Garrett. t Setting inspiring words by James Weldon Johnson, this work is poignant and stirring, encouraging singers and listeners to reflect on the challenges of present times and to move forward with courage and strength towards a brighter future. The choral writing beautifully reflects the powerful text, leading us towards a climactic reminder that "Tho' thick the battle and tho' fierce the fight, there is power in making for the right." An ideal choice for choirs looking to address issues of social justice in their programming. 11384396 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 3.25 11536296 SSAA divisi . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 3.25 11384397 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .M 3.65 Oh, What a Beautiful City arr.

ME 2.40 Prayer for Shalom Kyle Pederson. In this heartfelt prayer for peace, contemporary and traditional styles blend seamlessly as the choir asks first to receive shalom, then offers shalom to the listener, to friends and family, to those we don't know, and even to our enemies. "...heal us all that we may know the wholeness of your great shalom." 11539981 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.75 I Will Sing Michael Engelhardt.

Blake Richter. A 19th-century halyard sea shanty, this piece is a great example of a song sailors would sing, adopting words and phrases heard from various lands they visited. Tastefully arranged for a soloist or a series of soloists in a call-and-response texture, it features repetitive phrases with simple three-part harmonies and small ranges that will make even less experienced singers feel successful! 11537026 TTB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
