4 A Song—Vicki Tucker Courtney. This is
absolutely gorgeous for male voices! Always
expressive and sometimes dramatic, it tells a

Laurence Dunbar. "On a summer's day as I sat
by a stream, a dainty maid came by, and she
blessed my sight like a rosy dream..." Rich with
musicality, this will bring out the softer side of
your men's choir. Highly recommended!

This Old Hammer—arr. Neil Ginsberg. The folk
tale of John Henry comes to life in this rhythmic
call-and-response style setting. The historical
notes describe how railroad workers sang the
song while laying railroad track by hand, and the
arrangement captures the bluesy feeling those
workers must have experienced. If you listen
carefully to the piano accompaniment, you can
even hear the sound of a hammer hitting a spike!

H True Light—Keith Hampton. Opening phrases
of the traditional spiritual This Little Light
of Mine launch this exciting work into Keith
Hampton's original words and music, which
feature a sixteen-measure soprano solo sung to
lines from tenth-century poet Grigor Narekatzi's
Book of Mournful Chants: "Don't let the light
that You've given me die, And don't desert my
mind. But let the one who serves You Praise
You again and again." The repeated responses
"He lives in us as True Light" and "God gave
the world True Light" give solid impact to every
phrase. School and church choirs will revel in
the spiritual depth and driving rhythmic feel of
this extraordinarily soulful choral!

Tshotsholoza (Go Forward)—arr. Jeffery
L. Ames. Now available for mixed or men's
voices, this rousing arrangement of the popular
African freedom song has become a standard
in the choral repertoire. With call-and-response
vocals, African text, and rhythmic percussion
accompaniment, it transports the listener to South
Africa, where the song is often referred to as the
"unofficial anthem" of the country. It was used
in the soundtrack of the Oscar-nominated movie
"Invictus," and served as South Africa's "battle
call" at the 2010 World Cup. This is
essential multicultural programming! Highly
recommended!
