This original work highlights the mysterious and haunting text from one of England's best-known poets, Sir Walter de la Mare. The minor key along with the music's short, staccato themes, interactive harmonies, and optional bassoon part add to the sense of thrill and questioning found in the song's unique text. An ideal choice for fall or Halloween concerts - or any time of year! 11422940 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.60 Songs of a Disney Sidekick (Choral Medley)— arr. Alan Billingsley. There are Disney heroes and there are Disney villains, but this rip-roaring choral number belongs to those fringe characters that are just as critical to the story: the sidekicks. They make us chuckle, cry, and swoon, and now their timeless songs are expertly crafted together in this medley. Titles include Under the Sea; The Bare Necessities; Friend Like Me; Hakuna Matata and Be Our Guest. 11539759 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

E 1.95 The Turn Off Your Phone Song—Adam Podd & Matt Podd (and Pachelbel). Skip the droll opening announcement about cell phones and sing this instead! Based on Pachelbel's Canon - which, face it, everyone loves - this piece will make a 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! 11416260 Two-Part or SSA. . . . . . . . . . .

ME 2.75 The Wellerman—arr. Jacob Narverud. This 19th- century folk song from New Zealand experienced new life as a viral hit on TikTok and spawned the sea-shanty trend. The ballad tells the story of the hopeful inhabitants of a whaling village waiting for the Wellerman ship to bring supplies. This rousing arrangement is great fun and highly accessible as it can be performed with either the piano accompaniment or a cappella. 11390156 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ME 2.75 When I Grow Up/Naughty (from "Matilda: The Musical")—Tim Minchin/arr. Mac Huff.

A lively section of interactive harmony when counting and an emphasis on diction are the names of the game. Sure to be a favorite! 11510606 Two-Part opt. Three-Part . . . .
