Prayer—Hanna Havrylets. Ukrainian
composer Hanna Havrylets' beautiful
Prayer has received significant attention in
recent years, in both choral and instrumental
versions, in a wonderful tribute to Havrylets'
musical legacy after her passing in 2022.
The text is a deep plea for protection; the
ethereal musical texture features a solo
melodic line with choral harmonization.
There is a translation and IPA pronunciation
guide for the Ukrainian text.

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."

Prayer of the Children—Kurt Bestor/arr.
Andrea S. Klouse. An important contribution

feature for your a cappella choir.

The Promise of Living—Aaron Copland.
Aaron Copland's quintet from "The Tender
Land" translates beautifully into this setting
for combined chorus with band! Although it
makes a perfect choice for Thanksgiving, the
wonderful vocal lines make it a magnificent
showpiece any time of year. The SATB
choral part can stand alone, and offers a
piano 4 hands accompaniment. The optional
concert band accompaniment is at the
medium level and requires the choral part for
performance. It's a fantastic way to program
music by a great American composer!

The Promise of Peace—Jeffrey Cobb.
This gospel-inspired piece with a beautiful
text uses both sacred and secular imagery
to paint the picture of how "we can be the
promise of peace." The powerful piano
accompaniment and rocking a cappella
section really set this one apart! Perfect for
times when peace and social justice themes
are appropriate.

Reach Down, Lord (from "A Vision
Unfolding")—Kyle Pederson. The opening
to "A Vision Unfolding," this gospel-inspired
piece provides a powerful introduction to
themes of justice, equality and unity. Robert
Bode's text asks for God to reach down with
justice in times of tribulation and calls us to
reach out to those who may be struggling.
A memorable melody acts as a mantra,
inspiring others to heed the call of justice.

Reflection (Dona nobis pacem - adapted
from "The Stranger")—Kim André
Arnesen. Adapted from an instrumental
movement from his larger work "The
Stranger," this gorgeous work uses the
traditional Latin texts Dona nobis pacem
and Miserere nobis in an expression of
empathy and togetherness. It can be
performed a cappella or with the optional
piano accompaniment. This gentle and
expressive work will make a strong addition
to any concert program or service.

Regina Coeli—Dan Davison. There are
many great teaching moments in this
excellent original setting of the traditional
Latin text. Using the style of the late
Baroque period, with limited ranges in
each part, the work has lots of pep, drive,
and lyrical singing too. Ideal for developing
choirs, it is a great opening selection for
concerts or festivals.

Requiem—Eliza Gilkyson/arr. Craig Hella
Johnson. Singer/songwriter Eliza Gilkyson
wrote Requiem as a song of grief following
the Asian tsunami in December 2004, and
the song found a renewed audience after
Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf
Coast region. This setting by Conspirare
conductor Craig Hella Johnson is powerful
in its emotional impact.

Requiem (A Prayer for Itaewon)—
Choongwoo Steve Ko. Written in response
to the 2022 tragedy in Itaewon, South
Korea, this setting of the traditional Latin
requiem text captures the forlorn plea of the
Korean community and serves as a lament
for all who face tragedy. Tender a cappella
harmonies are accessible and moving,
allowing your singers to capture the full
expression of the piece.
11614326 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . ME 3.00
Resonet in laudibus—Scott Logan.
Drawing from the rich tradition of a 14th-
century Latin hymn, this setting weaves
classical elegance with contemporary
vitality in an ancient-modern work. Soaring
melodies and rhythmic energy bring the text
to life, as voices resound "Christus natus
est!" It's a stirring proclamation of joy for the
Christmas season or as a sacred concert
work at any time of year.

Revelation—Z. Randall Stroope. A
dramatic original work that sets text from
Revelation 8-11, this virtuosic and exciting
work isolates one apocalyptic sequence -
the sounding of seven trumpets, each one
heralding a more horrific event than the
trumpet before it. A few short lyrical solo
lines in the middle break up the frantic
pace of the beginning, then beautiful
homophonic harmonies bring a tranquil
contrasting section before a reprise of
the dramatic opening melts into a soft but
ominous closing.

Ride On, King Jesus—arr. Moses Hogan.
Scored for mixed voices or women's voices

Rise, My Soul—arr. Susan LaBarr. Rich
melodic lines and fragments form the basis
for a delicious counterpoint in this traditional
folk hymn arrangement. The harmonies are
at once modern and tasteful, with elements
of tone-painting and melismatic treatment of
the word "rise" throughout. Yet, it retains the
historical feel of this joyful American song in
an a cappella style that is worthy of study
and performance. Beautiful!

Saints Bound for Heaven—arr. Alice
Parker & Robert Shaw. Famously recorded
by the Robert Shaw Chorale, this traditional

music perfectly reflects the joy of the text.
It's one of the many fine spiritual settings
from the Robert Shaw/Alice Parker
collection.

under your singers!

Servabis pacem (Keep Peace)—Shelly
Marshall Armstrong. Great for high school
and collegiate choirs, this beautiful setting of
a biblical Latin text is a statement of our role
in keeping peace. A cappella polyphony
reminiscent of historical motets provides a
welcome challenge for part independence.
