My Harbor, My Home—Dominick DiOrio.
Jacqueline Goldfinger's short poem is set in
this exciting original concert work that teems
with optimism and possibility both musically and
textually. The piano accompaniment uses a
repeated note motif while the choral lines move with
syncopation in this mixed-meter selection written for
a time of rebirth and a new chapter of hope.

Quiet Revolutionary—Rosephanye Powell. This
six-minute set of three pieces is in celebration
of Dr. Eileen Southern, author of The Music of
Black Americans: A History. The composer says,
"In Quiet Revolutionary, I sought to depict Dr.
Southern's delicate state of bliss through jazz
harmonies, sparse accompaniment, and simplicity
of form, lyrics, dynamics, melody, and rhythms.
The piano introduction depicts Dr. Southern
quietly at work, unaware of the passage of time."
It's an excellent work honoring the legacy of a
Black female scholar and musician.

vocal lines, leaving room for artistic expression.

The Sacred Dance of Life—Sean Ivory.
"I sometimes forget that I was created for Joy..."
14th-century Persian poet Hafiz's text reminds us
that we can approach life by choosing to dance
through adversity and not allowing our feet to
become ensnared. Rhythmic and upbeat, this
work for mixed divisi choir, piano, and clarinet
dances through tonal centers and meters with
exuberance and unbridled joy.

Scarborough Fair—arr. Jared Graveley.
Originally performed in a collaboration between
VOCES8 and Chanticleer, this a cappella setting
is a stunning version of the beloved English
folk song. Ranging in harmonic flavors from
traditional to modern with jazz influences, the
dense unaccompanied harmonies for double choir
heighten the sonic tension and release.

setting that offers a free-flowing feel throughout.

Thanks (Gratias, from "Help, Thanks, Wow")—
Philip E. Silvey. The second in a set of three pieces
based onAnne Lamott's Help, Thanks, Wow: The
Three Essential Prayers, the composer expounds
upon Lamott's unique take on keeping prayer
simple. Translating her words into Latin, one word
for each "essential prayer," this piece also includes
short English phrases that focus on gratitude. A
gentle melodic line and a thoughtful piano part give
this a peaceful and meditative quality.

Walk Through the Streets of the City—arr.
Undine Smith Moore. This re-release is a
captivating setting of an African American spiritual
first published in 1977. The lyrics tell of being a
stranger in this world and the joy found in the city
called heaven. Scored for a cappella choir, the

provide a choral accompaniment in varying styles.

The Wanderer—Alex Wakim. In a modern style
with Arabic influence, this stark work channels the
raw emotions of displacement through powerful
lines, short Armenian chants, and percussive
elements. Inspired by the haunting text of poems
from the Armenian genocide in both Armenian
and English, this original work captures the
rage, sorrow, and fear of being torn from one's
homeland. A transliteration and pronunciation
guide for the Armenian text is provided.

accompaniment, homophonic and balanced part-
writing, and clean, satisfying chords.
