Here He Comes—Allison Blumenthal.
Enjoy this festival piece for Palm Sunday!
From the opening djembe and piano licks to
the expectant "ohs" by the choir, this will be a
delight to prepare and perform! A rhythmic first
section is answered by an equally fun second
section. More instruments are gradually added
to the mix to create a global-music vibe. The
middle section introduces three unique melodies
which later join together to create a jubilant and
rousing telling of the Palm Sunday story. An
electronic dance-inspired track provides a fun
option for performances. Available separately,
the Teacher Resource features helpful teaching
steps, a colorful classroom visual, a student score
(lead sheet without piano accompaniment), and
instrumental parts.

crucified, they laughed and scorned him as he

sacrificed the Lamb of God."

Pie Jesu—Mary Lynn Lightfoot. The traditional
Latin text is set to a haunting melody in this
reverent, deeply moving choral work. Composed
in memory of the children who perished in
the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, it is easily
singable by young choirs as well as more
experienced school or church choirs. An excellent
pronunciation guide/translation is included. At the
close of the work, a whispered, murmured chant
on "dona eis requiem" echoes behind the vocal
parts, creating a spine-chilling effect. Magnificent!
