A simple, folk-like style binds the work together along with a text inspired by the traditional Irish Blessing. 11525368 SATB with obbligato . . . . . . . ME 3.25 Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel—arr. Keith Christopher. This unison/optional two-part arrangement of the traditional spiritual is pure fun! The energetic piece starts in unison with a statement of the chorus.

The Teacher Resource (sold separately) includes helpful song teaching steps and colorful classroom visuals. 11540811 Unison/Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . E 2.25 Dies Irae (Day of Wrath)—David Farrell Smith. Employing the text from the Requiem Mass, this dramatic, exciting, rhythmic setting propels the angular melodies forward.

M 2.80 Dover Beach (Tales From the North)—Meredith Tompkins & Ashley Dame. This piece hints of the drama of the sea with rolling and weaving melodies in the undulating piano accompaniment. Small vocal ranges and the effective use of unison, two-part harmonies, and a descant propel the energetic and musically charged melodic passages and motivate young performers to be their very best! 11501627 SA or Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . .

In the SSAA voicing, this piece went viral when the Colorado All-State Treble Choir sang from the balconies in a hotel lobby! This a cappella arrangement of the folk hymn made popular in the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" utilizes body percussion, compelling harmonies, and an authentic vocal style to create an unforgettable choral piece. Great to open or close a concert! 11514191 SATB divisi . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.95 10999983 SSAA divisi . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 2.95 The Dreamer—Michael John Trotta.

M 3.15 El Humo (The Smoke)—Eduardo Cota. Everyday imagery comes to life; pictures of smoke trailing from chimneys up to the sky weave through a charming melody and accompaniment. This is a great selection for choirs learning how to sing in two parts, but its poetry and sonority also work well for older treble groups. 11514298 Two-Part or SA/SSA. . . . . . . ME 2.60 Empire of Blue—Rob Dietz. In a style that is equal parts contemporary and historic, this unique concert work employs a variety of vocal styles, including contemporary a cappella, overtone singing, vocal jazz, and shape note/sacred harp. Quoting the folk hymn The Lone Wild Bird, which grapples with understanding our place in the world, this piece resonates with a youthful voice and style that will surely be impactful. 11415498 SSAATTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . M 3.10 Encourage One Another—Mark Burrows. This energetic echo song brings out the best in young mixed voices and offers a joyful message of friendship and community. Vocal ranges are just right for changing voices in middle school and junior high, including optional notes for cambiata. While loosely based on scripture, the text focuses on caring qualities and is appropriate for both sacred and secular settings. Add the optional djembe, claves, and shaker (parts available separately) as well as the body percussion cues for a dynamic and spirited performance. 11539908 SAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . E 2.45 Eneza Upendo (Spread Love)—Jim Papoulis. "Eneza upendo uendako, umoja ni upendo" translates to "Spread love everywhere you go, unity is love." This piece celebrates the hopeful sentiments of unity and love through both Swahili and English lyrics that can be used throughout the year or to celebrate the Kwanzaa principle of Umoja (unity). Djembe and soft metal percussion add flair, and singers can also get in on the fun with some light body percussion. 11513566 SSAB or SSA, Baritone is optional . . . . . . . .

Ranging from unison to four parts, this is an optimistic statement for children's choirs and treble ensembles. 11535648 SSA divisi, or SSAA . . . . . . . . M 2.70 Fanga Alafia—arr. Andy Beck. This lively welcome song traditionally accompanies the West African fanga dance.
