Autumn—Ola Gjeilo. Inspired by the tranquility of
nature in Norway's fall season, this choral work
based on the composer's solo piano piece by
the same name is a peaceful meditation on the
wonder of the earth's changing seasons. Lush
divisi a cappella harmonies with a rich bass line
transport the listener to a serenely placid pastoral
scene with falling leaves and the change of
seasons. Stunning!

Ave Maris Stella—Eva Ugalde. While the Latin
Ave maris stella text has been set for choirs in
many ways, the Spanish composer Eva Ugalde's
unique compositional voice shines through here.
Beginning with a simple chant, it explores various
textures and meters before resolving to a peaceful
conclusion. Highly melodic, lovely part-writing,
and a joyful, energetic spirit come through in this
modern setting.

Ave, Regina Coelorum—Carlos Cordero. A
torrent of energy and rhythmic enthusiasm, this
modern motet is an outburst of praise to the Virgin
Mary. Repetition of short phrases and sudden
transitions to new musical ideas lead to the final
measures of joyful worship and supplication. An
exciting concert work for advanced choirs!

harmonies, encouraging contemplation of the
beautiful treasure, the glorious prize.

Between the Downs and the Sky—Matthew
Emery. Reflective and commemorative in nature,
this text speaks to themes of remembrance and
our shared connections to humanity translated
through the natural world. Expansive writing that
moves in and out of unison, two part, and optional
three parts aids in the accessibility of the work for
a variety of tenor-bass ensembles.

A Birthday—Jussie Chydenius. Christina
Rossetti's poem is perfectly reflected with vivid
imagery, beautiful vocal lines, and swirling
countermelodies. The choruses set the words
"My love is come to me" in a powerful antiphonal
texture. This original concert work showcases
beautiful modern a cappella harmonies in a
unique setting for mixed choirs.

Caritas (from "Illuminare")—Elaine Hagenberg.
Hildegard of Bingen's text on the virtues of love
shimmers in this serene setting that serves as the
second movement from "Illuminare." Opening with
a section of treble divisi, the lower voices enter as
the harmonic texture expands, framed beautifully
here with piano accompaniment and optional solo
violin. Stunning!

Dawn—Jacob Narverud. Francis Ledwidge's
poem brings a sweetly sentimental tone that is
so well complemented by the lyrical lines and
gorgeous harmonies in this original work. At once
both musically satisfying and accessible, it offers
a chance to help choirs bring maturity and lyricism
to their tone without increasing the difficulty.

Dedication—Zanaida Stewart Robles. Felicia
Barber's poem is a musical statement of self-
discovery and self-love from a Black female
perspective and serves as an anthem of
dedication to those who were mentors and
caretakers in her life. The musical setting features
intense rhythmic vitality with heavy syncopation,
fluctuating between powerful unisons, polyphonic
flourishes, and a classic gospel-style vamp with a
steady groove.

A Departing Blessing—Amelia Ouverson. This
heartfelt piece reminds us that goodbyes are as
filled with gratitude and hope as they are sad.
Great intimacy is achieved in this unaccompanied
setting with the use of solo voices and lush chords
as well as a solitary violin obbligato (or other C
instrument). A simple, folk-like style binds the
work together along with a text inspired by the
traditional Irish Blessing.

Down in the River to Pray—arr. Eric Nelson.
This popular traditional folk song is combined with
the spiritual Deep River to create a deeply moving
presentation. The piece begins simply with a solo
alto line, then the texture builds slowly as other
parts join in. A change to a more fluid piano part
depicts moving water supporting a verse of the
spiritual before returning to the opening material.

Dust—Ethan Sperry. Coty Raven Morris'
powerful poetry is set to harmonically rich music,
pairing together perfectly to share this impactful
message. With accessible percussion, this piece
for the advanced a cappella mixed choir is about
exploring one's past and coming into one's own.

obbligato leading to its exuberant conclusion.
