H ow Can I Keep from Singing?—Greg Gilpin.
H
Greg has taken the traditional Quaker text and
positively supercharged it with his own gospelstyled music in this marvelous new look at a
timeless American poem. This one has it all - a
wide-open solo for your best gospel singer,
an accompaniment that's fine as is, or can be
embellished at will by your pianist, and hand
claps from the very first measure that'll quickly
spread through your audience or congregation.
Highly recommended!

life-affirming aspects of the song.

and will make an especially effective addition to
Christmas, winter, and holiday concerts.

4 ia Hora Te Marino—Christopher Tin.
Christopher Tin's Baba Yetu is a top seller,
and this work promises to be as well! It's from
the Grammy Award-winning album, Calling All
Dawns. The text of Kia Hora Te Marino is adapted
from Maori proverbs, and the music is a beautiful
tribute to the Maori culture of New Zealand.
You'll want to perform this with the marvelous
orchestration on the recorded accompaniment
track! Highly recommended!

mbakwa—Jim Papoulis. Beautifully melodic,
with a great beat and a great message, this
"world music" piece has a text in Swahili which
translates as, "We have a right." Imbakwa
was written for the score of a film about an
organization benefiting orphans in Tanzania.
The organization, called TunaHAKI, uses the
arts to empower children to have the future they
deserve. A hand-drum part is included in the
choral score. Highly recommended!

nscription of Hope—Z. Randall Stroope. A
I
profoundly moving text, written on a cellar wall
during the rise of Nazi Germany, joins with original
music to create a deeply emotional expression
of hope for all mankind. With brief narration and
the echo of a Russian folk melody, this is an
important contribution to the concert repertoire
for more discerning choirs!

t Takes a Village—Joan Szymko. The familiar
African saying, "It takes a village to raise a child,"

J'entends Le Moulin—arr. Emily Crocker.
Hear the steady sound of the mill wheel in this
brisk setting of the French Canadian folk ong,
which uses alternate French and English text. "I
hear the windmill, tick-a tick-a tack-a..." Use the
pronunciation guide on the inside cover or the
Teaching P/A CD to practice the French lyrics.
This is easy and fun to sing!

Kusimama (Stand Tall)—Jim Papoulis.
Kusimama is written in a world-music style that
is accessible for choirs, both young and old,
that are just beginning to be exposed to world
rhythms and language - a sort of introduction
to new languages, syllables, body percussion
and style. The text in both Swahili and English is
about standing tall on the earth, not with anger or
aggression, but with hope, strength, acceptance,
and positivity. The voices, along with hand claps,
stomps, djembe, shaker and piano, all combine
for an exciting world-music presentation. Highly
recommended!

Lamentations of Jeremiah—Z. Randall
Stroope. A stunning addition to any choral library,

musical statement.

H et Everything that Hath Breath—Jeffery L.
L
Ames. It is impossible not to be inspired by this
soul-stirring gospel original. The accompaniment
is rock solid, and the choral parts are incredibly
gutsy, with dramatic dynamic swells and accents
that will shake the rafters! "Magnify the Lord with
me and exalt His name together...Let everything
that hath breath praise the Lord!"

Look at the World—John Rutter. Original
text and music combine for an inspiring choral
selection that speaks reverently of the many
small miracles of nature which surround each
of us. "Look at the world, everything all around
us; Look at the world, and marvel every day..."
Another masterpiece from the vibrant pen of
John Rutter.

dew..." Appropriate for any occasion, including
memorials, it is a stunning work!
